calculate the translational partition function of xenon and helium at the them temperature and volume

Explanation:

a) The ratio of the translational partition of D2 and H2 is 2.82

b) The ratio of the translational partition of xenon and helium is 187.56

Explanation:

a) The translational partition for D₂ is equal to:

Where

m = mass of molecule

k = Boltzmann constant

T = absolute temperature

V = volume of container

h = Planck constant

If rewrite the equation:

The same for the H₂ molecule:

Taking the ratio D₂ and H₂:

Where

mH₂ = 2.015894 amu

mD₂ = 4.028204 amu

b) The same way to part a)

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
