In a crude model of a rotating diatomic molecule of chlorine `(Cl_2)`, the two `(C l)` atoms are `2.0 xx 10^-10 m` apart and rotate about their centre of mass withb angular speed `omega = 2.0 xx 10^12 "rad" //s`. What is the rotational kinetic energy of one molecule of `C l_(2)` , Which has a molar mass of `70.0 g // mol` ? . |

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C Moment of inertia, `I = 2 (mr^2) = 2mr^2` Here, `m = (70 xx 10^-3)/(2 xx 6.02 xx 10^23)` = `5.81 xx 10^-26 kg` and `r = (2.0 xx 10 ^-10)/2` `1.0 xx 10^-10 m` `:. I = 2 (5.81 xx 10^-26) ( 1.0 xx 10^-10)^2` `= 1.16 xx 10^-45 kg - m^2` `:. K_R = 1/2 I omega^2` `= 1/2 xx (1.16 xx 10^-45) xx (2.0 xx 10^12)^2` `= 2.32 xx 10^-21 J`. |
