Question:

At 300 K, most molecules are not in their ground rotational state. Is this also true for their vibrational degree of freedom? Calculate Nn=1 Nn=0 and Nn=2 Nn=0 for the 127I2 molecule. Make sure that you take the degeneracy of the levels into account for the 127I2 molecule for which the force constant is 172 N m−1. At what temperature is Nn=2 Nn=0 = 0.500? Repeat the calculation for H2 for which the force constant is 575 N m−1 and explain the difference in the results.
