Question

Answer

The change in rotational free energy (ΔG_rot) can be calculated using the formula:

ΔG_rot = -RTln(Q_rot)

where R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and Q_rot is the partition function for rotational motion.

To calculate Q_rot, we need to use the rotational constants A, B, and C for H2O(g) at 15000K.

The partition function for rotational motion can be calculated as follows:

Q_rot = (8π^2IkT) / (h^2cA) × (8π^2IkT) / (h^2cB) × (8π^2IkT) / (h^2cC)

where I is the moment of inertia of the molecule, k is Boltzmann's constant, h is Planck's constant, and c is the speed of light.

To calculate the moment of inertia, we can use the formula:

I = μr^2

where μ is the reduced mass of the molecule and r is the bond length.

For H2O, the bond length (r) is approximately 0.96 Å and the reduced mass (μ) can be calculated as:

μ = (mH * mO) / (mH + mO)

where mH is the mass of hydrogen and mO is the mass of oxygen.

Substituting the values into the equation, we can calculate the reduced mass:

μ = (2 * 16.00 amu) / (2 + 16.00 amu) = 2.67 amu

Next, we can calculate the partition function:

Q_rot = (8π^2 * 2.67 amu * 1.38 J/K * 15000 K) / (6.63 x 10^-34 J·s)^2 * (2.998 x 10^8 m/s) * 27.8778 cm^-1) × (8π^2 * 2.67 amu * 1.38 J/K * 15000 K) / (6.63 x 10^-34 J·s)^2 * (2.998 x 10^8 m/s) * 14.5042 cm^-1) × (8π^2 * 2.67 amu * 1.38 J/K * 15000 K) / (6.63 x 10^-34 J·s)^2 * (2.998 x 10^8 m/s) * 9.286 cm^-1)

Calculating the value, we get:

Q_rot ≈ 1.59 x 10^49

Finally, we can substitute the values into the equation for ΔG_rot:

ΔG_rot = -RTln(Q_rot)

Substituting the values:

ΔG_rot = -(8.314 J/(mol·K))(15000 K) ln(1.59 x 10^49)

Calculating the natural logarithm and the negative sign, we get:

ΔG_rot ≈ -(-77.18 kJ/mol) ≈ 77.18 kJ/mol

Therefore, the value of ΔG_rot is approximately -77.18 kJ/mol.
