A water molecule has its three atoms arranged in a V

Chapter 20, Problem 20.81

(choose chapter or problem)

A water molecule has its three atoms arranged in a V shape, so it has rotational kinetic energy around any of three mutually perpendicular axes. However, like diatomic molecules, its vibrational modes are not active at temperatures below 1000 K. What is the thermal energy of 2.0 mol of steam at a temperature of 160C?
