Ammonia (a non-linear molecule, three rotational degrees of freedom) and nitrogen (diatomic) are in one vessel at 300 K. Find the ratio of the mean rotational kinetic energy per molecule of ammonia to

Answer:
1.50
Solution:

Each rotational degree of freedom carries (1)/(2)kT. Ammonia has (3)/(2)kT and nitrogen has kT. Ratio = 1.5.
