The first five vibrational energy levels of ¹H¹²71 are at 1144.83, 3374.90, 5525.51, 7596.66, and 9588.35 cm¹. Treating the molecule as an anharmonic oscillator, estimate the dissociation energy of the molecule in units of reciprocal centimetres (cm-¹). [Note: m(¹H) = 1.0078 u, m(¹271) = 126.9045 u; assume the second order anharmonicity constant, Ye, to be zero.]

Calculate the ratio of the populations in the first two rotational energy levels of carbon monoxide, the lowest J=0 energy level and the higher J = 1 energy level, at 300 K if the energy difference between the levels is 3.8 cm-1and the degeneracies gJ of the two levels are g0 = 1 and g1 = 3, respectively. (You will see in Section 20.3 that there are 2J 1 1 rotational quantum states at each energy level EJ.)
(Slightly modified McQuarrie 5-41) Many quantum vibrational states are available to molecules. This raises the question: In what vibrational states are molecules actually found? Using sta- tistical mechanics, one can show (see McQuarrie 5-40 if you are interested) that the fraction of molecules in the n-th state is given by: fn = (1-e-hv/kBT) e -nhv/kBT where kB is the Boltzmann constant, kg = 1.380658 × 10-23 J/K. Compute the occupancy of the n=0, 1 and 2 states at 300 K and 1500 K for a "typical" harmonic frequency, we = 2650 cm-1. For practical purposes, what vibrational state is a typical molecule found in?
