The vibrational partition function for
Concept introduction:
A molecule is made up of atoms that are bonded together by covalent bonds. These bonds undergo a to and fro movement to vibrate. This vibration of the molecule contributes to the overall partition function of the system. The vibrational partition function of the polyatomic molecule is represented as,

2.
Calculate the total molar entropy of HF at 298K. The vibrational frequency is 3960 cm-1 and the rotational constant is 20.6 cm-1.
A certain molecule can exist in either a nondegenerate singlet state or a triplet state (with degeneracy of 3). The energy of the triplet exceeds that of the singlet by ε. When ?=??(where T is a set value, i.e., ? is a constant), calculate the values of the molecular partition function, molar heat capacity, and molar entropy. Assume the molecules are distinguishable and independent
