Question

Calculate the vibrational, rotational, and translational contributions to the constant volume heat capacity (Cv) for 14N2 at 298 K.  Assume this represents the high temperature limit for rotational energy and low temperature limit for vibrational energy.  Given that Cv=20.81 J/K·mol for N2, state which type or types of energy contribute most to Cv for N2 and explain why those types of energy contribute most.
