Question:

A diatomic molecule in thermal cquilibrium at \(120 \mathrm{~K}\) is constrained to move freely only on a two-dimensional surface.

(a) What is the molecule's thermal energy?

(b) The molecule is boiled off the surface and allowed to float freely in a gas at thermal equilibrium at \(298 \mathrm{~K}\). What is the molecule's thermal energy now?

(c) What is its thermal energy if it is heated to \(3000 \mathrm{~K}\) ?
