Nitrogen molecules are made of two nitrogen atoms with atomic weight of 14 each. Water molecules are made of one oxygen of 16 atomic mass units and two hydrogens of 1 atomic mass unit each. If you have one gram of each substance in vapor form, at high enough temperature that all molecular vibration and rotation modes are accessible, and the two substances are at the same temperature, what is the ratio of the total energy content of the nitrogen to that of the water?
The temperature near the surface of the earth is 298 K. A xenon atom (atomic mass = 131.29 u) has a kinetic energy equal to the average translational kinetic energy and is moving straight up. If the atom does not collide with any other atoms or molecules, then how high up would it go before coming to rest? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is constant during the ascent.

- Consider two immiscible liquids such as water and oil. If a spherical oil molecule of radius r is taken out of the oil phase and placed in the water phase, the unfavorable energy of this transfer is proportional to the area of the solute (oil) molecule newly exposed to the solvent (water) multiplied by the interfacial energy, i, of the oil-water interface. The interfacial energy of the bulk cyclohexane-water interface is i = 50 mJ m-2, and the radius of a cyclohexane molecule is 0.28 nm.
