A molecule has states with the following energies: 0, 1ε, 2ε, 3ε, and 4ε, where ε = 1.0 x 10-20 J.
Calculate the average number of molecules in the first excited state (1ε) for a collection of 1000 molecules in thermal equilibrium at T = 300 K.
Note that the average number of molecules in a state is just the probability that a molecule is in the state times the number of molecules.
Provide your answer as a number in normal form.
