Determine the total molecular partition function for gaseous H2O at 1000. K confined to a volume of 1.20 cm3 . The rotational constants for water are BA = 27.8 cm−1, BB = 14.5 cm−1, and BC = 9.95 cm−1. The vibrational frequencies are 1615, 3694, and 3802 cm−1. The ground electronic state is nondegenerate.
