For so2 at 25 °c, (a) evaluate the thermal wavelength, (b) evaluate the translational partition function wavelength in a container of volume 1.0 cm3, (c) calculate the rotational partition function from its rotational constants 2.02736 cm1, 0.34417 cm1, and 0.293535 cm 1. (d) above what temperature is the high-temperature approximation valid to within 10 per cent of the true value? (e) calculate the rotational contribution to the molar entropy.

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.
