Question
A molecule can have various types of energies (translational, rotational, vibrational, and electronic), the sum of which is the
molecule's total energy.
E trans = (n +n + n²)
Erot = J (J + 1)
h²
87²1
Evib = (U+ 1 ) h
hv
h²
8mV (2/3)
In the equations, nx, ny, nz, J, and u are quantum numbers, h is Planck's constant, m is the mass of the molecule, V is the
volume of the container, I is the moment of inertia of the molecule, and v is the fundamental vibration frequency.
For carbon monoxide, CO, the moment of inertia is I = 1.45 x 10-46 kg-m², and the fundamental vibration frequency is
v = 2130 cm-¹. Let V = 12.5 L, and let all the quantum numbers be equal to 1.
Calculate the translational, rotational, and vibrational energies per mole of CO for these conditions.
