Question

Transcribed Image Text:Among the following statements which one is the only correct one
10
a. The rotational partition function calculated as T/00 is not in error for heavy molecules at high temperatures
The translational partition function can be calculated analytically because the spacing of the translational energy levels is typically greater than KT
C. The contribution to the total entropy from vibrational modes can be assumed to be small for a molecule such as buthanol
b.
d. none of the other answers
The translational partition function is relevant only for monoatomic gases
e.
