1-31. We shall learn when we study molecular spectroscopy that heteronuclear diatomic molecules absorb radiation in the microwave region and that one determines directly the so-called rotational constant of the molecule defined by B = 8721 where I is the moment of inertia of the molecule. Given that B = 3.13 × 105 MHz for H35C1, calculate the internuclear separation for H35C1. The atomic mass of H and 35C1 are 1.008 and 34.97, respectively.
Given these two equations, calculate Cv for CO2 and N2 using the velocity of sound. 6. According to statistical mechanics, the contribution to Cy due to the ith vibrational mode of a molecule is c ee;/T Cv,vib,4 = R(7) ³ (e®,/T — 1)² › where Oi = hcv./kB, h is Planck's constant, and c is the speed of light in cm s-¹. v; is the vibrational frequency of the ith vibrational mode in wavenumbers (cm-¹). The quantity O, has dimensions of temperature and is sometimes referred to as the vibrational tem- perature (of the ith vibrational mode). The total vibrational contribution to the molar heat capacity for an N-atom (linear) molecule is then Cy,vib Cv,vib,i Calculate Cy for CO₂ at 300 K, assuming that the translational and rotational con- tributions are (3/2)R and R, respectively, and use the preceding equations to obtain the vibrational contribution.

(Slightly modified McQuarrie 5-41) Many quantum vibrational states are available to molecules. This raises the question: In what vibrational states are molecules actually found? Using sta- tistical mechanics, one can show (see McQuarrie 5-40 if you are interested) that the fraction of molecules in the n-th state is given by: fn = (1-e-hv/kBT) e -nhv/kBT where kB is the Boltzmann constant, kg = 1.380658 × 10-23 J/K.

The space immediately surrounding stars, the circumstellar space, is significantly warmer because stars are very intense black-body emitters with temperatures of several thousand kelvin. Discuss how such factors as cloud temperature, particle density, and particle velocity may affect the rotational spectrum of CO in an interstellar cloud. What new features in the spectrum of CO can be observed in gas ejected from and still near a star with temperatures of about 1000 K, relative to gas in a cloud with temperature of about 10 K? Explain how these features may be used to distinguish between circumstellar and interstellar material on the basis of the rotational spectrum of CO.
