QUESTION:
Problem 24P
For an O2 molecule, the constant ϵ is approximately 0.00018 eV Estimate the rotational partition function for an O2 molecule at room temperature.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
Consider an oxygen with energy constant .
Since the two oxygen atoms are the same, we can determine the rotational partition function using equation 6.33, that is,
