The ground state of Cyanogen gas (Energy = 0 eV) and 1st excited state is (E = 4.7x10^-4eV) can be separately identified by their spectra. An astronomer determines that on interstellar gas has a ratio of 10:1. 10 molecules of cyanogen gas to every 1 excited state. Use this to determine the temperature of the gas?
