Chapter 18, Problem 18.12E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of De for H2O is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The point at which the bond between the two atoms become nonexistent thus the molecule exits as two separated atoms known as dissociation limit. The relation between D0 and De is given by the formula,

D0=De12hv

Where,

D0 represents dissociation energy.

h is the Plank’s constant.

v is vibrational frequency.

De is the minimum potential energy of ground electronic state with respect to the zero point.

Suppose the incident sunlight at ground level has a power density of 0.87 kW m−2 at noon. What is the maximum rate of loss of water from a lake of area 1.0 ha? (1 ha = 104 m2.) Assume that all the radiant energy is absorbed; take the enthalpy of vaporization of water to be 44 kJ mol−1.
The vibrational energy levels for XO molecule can be described by the following formula: E(n) in Joule = 1.88x10-20(n+1/2) – 2.68x10-22(n+1/2)² where n is the vibrational quantum number. What would be the equilibrium dissociation energy (De) of the XO molecule in a kJ mol-1?
The vibrational frequency of the ICl molecule is 1.15 ×1013 s-1. For every million (1.00 × 106) molecules in the ground vibrational state, how many will be in the first excited vibrational state at a temperature of 300 K?
