The abstract, sentence by sentence
$Q_{\rm int}$($T$), of the H$_2$$^{16}$O molecule is reported for temperatures between 0 and 6000 K. Determination of $Q_{\rm int}$($T$) is principally based on the direct summation technique involving all accurate experimental energy levels known for H$_2$$^{16}$O (almost 20~000 rovibrational energies including an almost complete list up to a relative energy of 7500 \cm), augmented with a less accurate but complete list of first-principles computed rovibrational energy levels up to the first dissociation limit, about 41~000 \cm\ (the latter list includes close to one million bound rovibrational energy levels up to $J = 69$, where $J$ is the rotational quantum number). Partition functions are developed for {\it ortho}- and {\it para}-H$_2$$^{16}$O as well as for their equilibrium mixture. Unbound rovibrational states above the first dissociation limit are considered using an approximate model treatment. The effect of the excited electronic states on the thermochemical functions is neglected, as their contribution to the thermochemical functions is negligible even at the highest temperatures considered. Based on the high-accuracy $Q_{\rm int}$($T$) and its first two moments, definitive results, in 1~K increments, are obtained for the following thermochemical functions: Gibbs energy, standardized enthalpy, entropy, and isobaric heat capacity. Reliable approximately two standard deviation uncertainties, as a function of temperature, are estimated for each quantity determined. These uncertainties emphasize that the present results are the most accurate ideal-gas thermochemical functions ever produced for H$_2$$^{16}$O. It is recommended that the new value determined for the standard molar enthalpy increment at 298.15~K, $9.90404 \pm 0.00001$ kJ~mol$^{-1}$, should replace the old CODATA datum, $9.905 \pm 0.005$ kJ~mol$^{-1}$.
