Question
Chapter 10, Problem 3RQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the statement that water would be an inconvenient fluid to use in a Torricelli barometer is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Atmospheric pressure is also called barometric pressure, which is exerted by the per unit of area of an atmospheric column. Torricelli barometer and manometer are the scientific devices that are used to measure the difference in the pressure between two gases or one against the atmospheric pressure.

32. Consider a two-state system in which the low energy level is 300 J mol 1 and the higher energy
level is 800 J mol 1, and the temperature is 300 K. Find the population of each level. Hint: Pay attention
to your units.
A. What is the partition function for this system?
B. What are the populations of each level?
Now instead, consider a system with energy levels of 0 J mol
C. Now what is the partition function?
D. And what are the populations of the two levels?
E. Finally, repeat the second calculation at 500 K.
and 500 J mol 1 at 300 K.
F. What do you notice about the populations as you increase the temperature? At what temperature
would you expect the states to have equal populations?
30. We will derive the forms of the molecular partition functions for atoms and molecules shortly in
class, but the partition function that describes the translational and rotational motion of a homonuclear
diatomic molecule is given by
Itrans (V,T) =
=
2πmkBT
h²
V
grot (T)
4π²IKBT
h²
Where h is Planck's constant and I is molecular moment of inertia.
The overall partition function is qmolec Qtrans qrot.
Find the energy, enthalpy, entropy, and Helmholtz free energy for the translational and rotational
modes of 1 mole of oxygen molecules and 1 mole of iodine molecules at 50 K and at 300 K and with a
volume of 1 m³. Here is some useful data:
