here we examine the vibration of 12c16o in the gas phase and adsorbed onto a surface
a) calculate the contribution of bond vibrations to the molar internal energy of 12c16o at t=300k
b) suppose co adsorbs onto a solid surface such that the co bond is perpendicular to the surface, the oxygen atom is immobilized on the surface but the carbon atom can still move as the bond vibrates. calculate the reduced mass for this surface-adsorbed co molecule
c) calculate the vibration temperature θvib for this surface-adsorbed 12c16o molecule. assume the co bond force constant does not change when co adsorbs to the surface.
d) calculate the vibrational partition function for surface-adsorbed co. assume t=300k
e) calculate the contribution to the molar internal energy from vibrations of the bond of surface-adsorbed co. assume t=300k
f) calculate the change in the molar vibrational energy when co adsorbs onto a surface from the gas phase. assume t=300k
