Question: A nitrogen molecule is confined in a cubic box of volume 1.00 m3. Assuming that the molecule has an energy equal to kT at T

A nitrogen molecule is confined in a cubic box of volume 1.00 m3. Assuming that the molecule has an energy equal to μkT at T = 300 K, what is the value of n = (n~ + nJ + 11 ;) 112for this molecule? What is the energy separation between the levels n and 11+ I? What is its de Broglie wavelength? Would it be appropriate to describe this particle as behaving classically?
