A linear molecule may rotate about two axes. If the molecule consists of N atoms, then there are 3N- 5 vibrational modes. Use the equipartition theorem to estimate the total contribution to the molar internal energy from translation, vibration, and rotation for (a) carbon dioxide, CO2, and (b) dibromoethyne, C2Br2, at 2000 K. In contrast, a nonlinear molecule may rotate about three axes and has 3N- 6 vibrational modes. Estimate the total contribution to the molar in ternal energy from translation, vibration, and rotation for (c) nitrogen dioxide, NO2, and (d) tetrabromoethene, C2Br4,at 2000 K. In each case, first assume that all vibrations are active; then assume that none is.
