Chapter 16, Problem 16-10

(choose chapter or problem)

It was stated that at room temperature (25C) the majority of molecules are inthe ground vibrational energy level (v = 0).(a) Use the Boltzmann equation (Equation 8-1) to calculate the excited-stateand ground-state population ratios for HCl: N(v = 1)/N(v = 0). The fundamentalvibrational frequency of HCl occurs at 2885 cm-1(b) Use the results of part (a) to find N(v = 2)/N(v = 0).
