A. Calculate the ratio of the translational partition functions of D2 and H2 at the same temperature and volume.

b. Calculate the ratio of the translational partition functions of xenon and helium at the same temperature and volume.

A) The ratio of the translational partition of functions D2 and H2 is : 2.82

B) The ratio of the translational partition of functions of xenon and helium is : 187.56

The formula for calculating translational partition

we rewrite equation ( 1 )

 = [ ( mass of D₂ ) / ( mass of H₂ ) ]

           = [  4.028204 amu / 2.015894 amu ]

           = 2.82

Rewriting equation ( 1 )

          = [ mass of xenon / mass of helium ]

          = [ 131.293 amu / 4.0026 amu ]

          = 187.56

Hence we can conclude that  The ratio of the translational partition of functions D2 and H2 is : 2.82  and The ratio of the translational partition of functions of xenon and helium is : 187.56
