What is the numerical value of the molecular partition function of a heteronuclear diatomic molecule given the following conditions: (i) the characteristic length is 10 nm and the volume in which the molecules are free to move is a cube with sides of 1 mm each. (ii) Only the first four rotational levels are accessible, but for some odd reason [to keep things simple] each state in each of those levels is equally populated. (iii) all molecules are in the ground vibrational state; (iv) the molecule has a triplet electronic ground level, like O2.
