The most intense peak in a pure rotational spectrum of a gas of a diatomic molecule with rotational constant 4.560 cm¹ was found to correspond to transitions out of the J = 10 rotational energy level. Assuming that the molecule behaves as a rigid rotor, estimate the temperature (in K) at which this spectrum was measured. (Give your answer to at least 3 significant figures.)

The four lowest electronic levels of a Ti atom are: J = 2, 3, 4 and 1, at 0, 170, 387 and 6557 cm-1, respectively. There a many other electronic states at higher energies. The boiling point of Ti is 3287 oC. What are the relative populations of these levels at the boiling point if the degeneracy of levels is 2J + 1? Is the ground state most highly populated level?

How to obtain a general expression for the R branch in HCl for the lowest vibrational state.
Suppose that the internuclear distance may be written R = Re + x where Re is the equilibrium bond length. Also suppose that the potential well is symmetrical and confines the oscillator to small displacements. Deduce expressions for 1/⟨R⟩2, 1/⟨R2⟩, and ⟨1/R2⟩ to the lowest non-zero power of ⟨x2⟩/Re2 and confirm that the values are not the same.
