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,
