Question

Calculate the value of the translational partition function of O2 at 300 K for a volume of 1 m3. Submit your answer multiplied by 10−32 (i.e. if you calculate 4.2e33, input 42).

Answer 1

qT = V / Λ³ = V / (h / (2πmk_BT)^1/2)³ = 1 / (6.626 × 10^-34 / (2 × 3.142 × (0.032 / (6.022 × 10²³) × 1.38 × 10^-23 × 300))^1/2)³ = 2.78 × 10³³

Answer: 27.8.
