Step 1
Step 1: The molar internal energy of a diatomic gas can be calculated using the equipartition theorem, which states that each degree of freedom contributes (1/2)kT to the molar internal energy, where k is the Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature. Show more…

A container holds 2 moles of a diatomic gas at temperature T = 420K. At this temperature, rotational motions (but not vibrational motions) of the gas molecules are allowed. What is the total internal energy of this gas?

Calculate the value of the molar thermal energy in kJ mol-1 of a diatomic gas at 298K. Assume that at that temperature there is no contribution from the vibration motions. (as always, no units)
