Answer to Question #121473 in Mechanical Engineering for INDRAJIT SOMNATH WADGAVE

Question

Calculate the value of the translational partition function of O2 at 1000 K for a volume of 1 m3. Submit your answer multiplied by 10−32 (i.e. if you calculate 4.2e33, input 42).

Answer 1

Here we have to find the partition function of oxygen we know that mass of oxygen is = 32

Now we will calculate the de borglies thermal wavelength using formula

Λ=

Here, T= 1000 K, h= plancks constant, Boltzmann constant

Λ=

Λ=

And for the partition function we know that

= so here we will input only 30 as per the question
