Question

Determine the total molecular partition function for gaseous H2O at 1000. K confined to a volume of 1.80 cm3 . The rotational constants for water are BA=27.8cm−1, BB=14.5cm−1, and BC=9.95cm−1. The vibrational frequencies are 1615, 3694, and 3802 cm−1. The ground electronic state is nondegenerate. (Note: the Avogadro's constant NA=6.022×1023mol−1).
