Use Table 3.1 to compute the temperatures of solid A and solid B when qA=1. Then compute both temperatures when qA=60. Express your answers in terms of ε/k, and then in kelvins assuming that ε=0.1eV.

Short Answer

Expert verified

For qA=1,

TA=0.187ε/k=216.8KTB=0.91ε/k=1055.07K

For qA=60,

localid="1646916582956" TA=0.57ε/k=660.87KTB=0.57ε/k=660.87K

Step by step solution

01

Given

Table of microstates, multiplicities, and entropies:

Both the solids, solid A and solid B, are sharing 100unitsof energy.

Hence,

qA+qB=100

The temperature of both the solids is to be determined when qA=1and qA=60.

role="math" localid="1646894597879" ε=0.1eV=0.1×1.6×10-19=1.6×10-20J

02

Calculation of temperatures when qA=1

Temperature can be defined in terms of entropy and energy of systems as:

T=∂U∂S..........(1)

Where,

∂Ucan be replaced as role="math" localid="1646893107696" εdq

Hence, the simplified equation can be written as,

role="math" localid="1646893344744" T=εdqdS..........(2)

For qA=1, slope between qA=0and qA=2are used.

Similarly for solid B, qBwill be 100-qA.

Hence,

qA=0,qB=100-0=100, and

qA=2,qB=100-2=98

Now, from the table, the corresponding values of dSfor the values of qA=0,qA=2are 0,10.7krespectively.

By substituting these values in equation 2, temperature of solid A can be calculated as:

role="math" localid="1646895028376" TA=ε(2-0)SA(2)-SA(0)TA=ε(2-0)10.7k-0TA=0.187εk

We know that,

k=1.38×10-23J/K

By substituting the values, we get,

TA=0.187×1.6×10-201.38×10-23TA=216.8K

Similarly, temperature of solid B can be calculated as:

TB=ε(100-98)SB(100)-SB(98)TB=ε(100-98)(187.53-185.33)kTB=0.91εk

By substituting the values, we get,

TB=0.91×1.6×10-201.38×10-23TB=1055.07K

03

Calculation of temperatures when qA=60

Now for qA=60, the slope between qA=59and qA=61are used.

Similarly for solid B, qBwill be 100-qA.

In this case,

qA=59,qB=100-59=41, and

qA=61,qB=100-61=39

Temperature for solid A can be calculated as:

TA=ε(61-59)SA(61)-SA(59)

Now, from the table, the corresponding values of SA(61),SA(59)are 160.9,157.4respectivley.

By substituting the values in the above equation, we get,

TA=ε(61-59)(160.9-157.4)kTA==0.57εk

Now,

By substituting the values of ε,kin the above equation, we get,

TA=0.57×1.6×10-201.38×10-23TA=660.87K

Similarly, temperature of solid B can be calculated as:

TB=ε(41-39)SB(41)-SB(39)TB=ε(41-39)(107-103.5)kTB=0.57εk

By substituting the values, we get,

role="math" localid="1646916541515" TB=0.57×1.6×10-201.38×10-23TB=660.87K

04

Final answer

Hence, the temperature in both the cases for solids A and B is calculated as:

ForqA=1,

TA=0.187ε/k=216.8KTB=0.91ε/k=1055.07K

ForqA=60,

TA=0.57ε/k=660.87KTB=0.57ε/k=660.87K

What partial-derivative relation can you derive from the thermodynamic identity by considering a process that takes place at constant entropy? Does the resulting equation agree with what you already knew? Explain.

Consider a monatomic ideal gas that lives at a height z above sea level, so each molecule has potential energy mgzin addition to its kinetic energy.

(a) Show that the chemical potential is the same as if the gas were at sea level, plus an additional term mgz:

μ(z)=-kTlnVN2πmkTh23/2+mgz.

(You can derive this result from either the definition μ=-T(∂S/∂N)U,Vor the formula μ=(∂U/∂N)S,V.

(b) Suppose you have two chunks of helium gas, one at sea level and one at height z, each having the same temperature and volume. Assuming that they are in diffusive equilibrium, show that the number of molecules in the higher chunk is

N(z)=N(0)e-mgz/kT

in agreement with the result of Problem 1.16.

In solid carbon monoxide, each CO molecule has two possible orientations: CO or OC. Assuming that these orientations are completely random (not quite true but close), calculate the residual entropy of a mole of carbon monoxide.

A liter of air, initially at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, is heated at constant pressure until it doubles in volume. Calculate the increase in its entropy during this process.

In Section 2.5 I quoted a theorem on the multiplicity of any system with only quadratic degrees of freedom: In the high-temperature limit where the number of units of energy is much larger than the number of degrees of freedom, the multiplicity of any such system is proportional to UNf/2, whereNf is the total number of degrees of freedom. Find an expression for the energy of such a system in terms of its temperature, and comment on the result. How can you tell that this formula forΩ cannot be valid when the total energy is very small?
