Step-by-step explanation:
a) The ratio of the translational partition of D2 and H2 is 2.82
b) The ratio of the translational partition of xenon and helium is 187.56
Explanation:
a) The translational partition for D₂ is equal to:
Where
m = mass of molecule
k = Boltzmann constant
T = absolute temperature
V = volume of container
h = Planck constant
If rewrite the equation:
The same for the H₂ molecule:
Taking the ratio D₂ and H₂:
Where
mH₂ = 2.015894 amu
mD₂ = 4.028204 amu
b) The same way to part a)
