Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of qrot for CCl4(σ=12) at 298K is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The qrot is given by the formula,

qrot=Tσθr

The qrot for polyatomic molecules is given by the formula,

qrot=π1/2σ(T3θr, Aθr, Bθr, C)1/2

Consider the rotational temperatures of the following hetero diatomic molecules: θr(CO) = 2.1 K, θr(HF) = 30.2 K. In which case would the classical approximation be accurate? Justify your answer.
Identify the systems for which it is essential to include a factor of 1/N! on going from Q to q : (i) a sample of carbon dioxide gas, (ii) a sample of graphite, (iii) a sample of diamond, (iv) ice.
The energy levels of a CH3 group attached to a larger fragment are given by the expression for a particle on a ring, provided the group is rotating freely. What is the high-temperature contribution to the heat capacity and entropy of such a freely rotating group at 25 °C? Hint: The moment of inertia of CH3 about its threefold rotation axis (the axis that passes through the C atom and the centre of the equilateral triangle formed by the H atoms) is 5.341 × 10−47 kg m2.
