At a temperature of 0 K, the total energy of a gaseous diatomic molecule AB is approximately given by: E=E_(o)+E_(vib) where E_(o) is the electronic energy of the ground state, and E_(vib) is the vibrational energy. Allowed values of the vibrational energies are given by the expression: E_(vid)=(v-1/2)epsilon "" v=0, 1, 2, ....... "" epsilon=h/(2pi)sqrt(k/mu) "" mu(AB)=(m_(A)m_(B))/(m_(A)+m_(B)) where h is the planck's constant, is the vibration quantum number, k is the force constant, and is the reduced mass of the molecule. At 0K, it may be safely assumed that is zero, and E_(o) and k are independent of isotopic substitution in the molecule. Deuterium, D, is an isotope of hydrogen atom with mass number 2. For the H_(2) molecule, k is 575.11 N m^(-1), and the isotopic molar masses of H and D are 1.0078 and 2.0141 g mol^(-1), respectively. At a temperature of 0K : epsilon_(H_(2))=1.1546 epsilon_(HD) and epsilon_(D_(2))=0.8167 epsilon_(HD) ul("Calculate") the dissociation energy, DeltaE, in eV of a hydrogen molecule in its ground state such that both H atoms are produced in their ground states.
