A certain atom has a 4-fold degenerate ground level, a 3-fold degenerate electronically excited level at 4000 cm-1, and a 4-fold degenerate level at 5500 cm-1.Part 1: Calculate the electronic partition function at 1900 K.Ans = __________ Part 2: Now calculate the electronic contribution to the molar internal energy at this same temperature. Ans = ________ kJ/molFor comparison purposes, it is instructive to consider that the translational contribution to the molar internal energy at this same temperature would be (3/2)RT or 23.69 kJ/mol. So it shows that even at these elevated temperatures, the electronic contribution is fairly small because excited electronic states are populated much less than excited translational states.
