Calculate the separation between the two lowest levels for an O2 molecule in a one-dimensional container of length 5.0 cm. At what value of n does the energy of the molecule reach 1 2 kT at 300K, and what is the separation of this level from the one immediately below

The separation between the two lowest levels =  

The values of n where the energy of molecule reaches 1/2 kT at 300K =

The separation at this level = 1.8 * J

Explanation:

Knowing the formula

En =

Mass of oxygen molecule

m (O2) = 32 amu *

So the energy diference between the two lowest levels:

E2 - E1 =

E2 - E1 =  

Now we should find n where the energy of molecule reaches 1/2 kT

En = =

=

by the end is necessary to calculate the separation of the level

En - En-1 =

              = 1.8 * J

as technology advances, new experiments often expose problems in accepted theories. c

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
