### Collapsing Molecular Cloud Educational Exercise

A spherical fragment of a molecular cloud (hydrogen) with mass \( M = 1.5 M_\odot \) and \( R = 6000 \) a.u. starts to collapse. The dissociation energy of \( H_2 \) is \( D_0 = 4.52 \) eV and the ionization energy of \( H \) is \( \chi_0 = 13.6 \) eV.

a) Derive and numerically evaluate the dissociation energy \( E_d \) of the cloud.

b) Derive and numerically evaluate the ionization energy \( E_i \) of the cloud.

c) Derive and numerically evaluate the final radius \( R_f \) of the cloud.

d) Derive and numerically evaluate the final temperature of the gas \( T_f \).
