Question: Explore the conditions under which the 'integral' approximation for the translational partition function is not valid by considering the translational partition function of an Ar

Explore the conditions under which the 'integral' approximation for the translational partition function is not valid by considering the translational partition function of an Ar atom in a cubic box of side 1.00 cm. Estimate the temperature at which, according to the integral approximation, q = 10 and evaluate the exact partition function at that temperature.
