Estimate the vibrational contribution to the molar entropy of the most common isotopomer of bromine, 79Br2, at 1000 K. The vibrational wavenumber for 79Br2 is 325 cm-1. You may assume that at this temperature, the equipartition theorem and the high temperature approximation for the vibrational partition function are both valid.
