Where can I find rotational/vibrational temperature data for ethane?

AI Thread Summary
Data for rotational and vibrational temperatures of ethane (C2H6) can be challenging to find through general searches. A specific resource was identified: the CCCBDB database from NIST, which provides experimental data for various molecules, including ethane. Additionally, the computation of moments of inertia for simple molecules is possible, though the reference table in McQuarrie's "Statistical Mechanics" does not include ethane, focusing instead on methane (CH4) and others. This highlights the need for targeted databases or literature when researching specific molecular properties.

Hi,
Where would I find data for rotational/vibrational temperatures for a particular molecule (ethane)? I tried googling but had no luck. Also can you compute the moments of inerta for a particular (simple) molecule?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Statistical Mechanics by McQuarrie p.132 table 8-1 has the values for ## CH_4 ## and several other molecules. (Looking at it more closely=## CH_4##=methane. No, ethane ## C_2H_6 ## is not in that table). ## \\ ## Edit: I did find this in a google: https://cccbdb.nist.gov/exp2x.asp?casno=74840&charge=0 Perhaps it will be helpful.

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
