Use the Sackur-Tetrode equation to calculate the entropy of a mole of argon gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Why is the entropy greater than that of a mole of helium under the same conditions?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The room temerperature and atmospheric pressure entropy of mole of argon gas isS=154.76JK1.

Step by step solution

01

Step: 1 Finding volume of one mole:

The entropy of sackur-tetrode formula by

S=NklnVN4mU3Nh232+52

From ideal gas law,

At pressure of 1atm=101325Paand temperature of 300K.

The one mole occupies a volume of

V=nRTPV=8.31300101325V=0.0246m3.

02

Step: 2 Finding Argon molecule mass:

The monatomic gas of internal energy is

U=f2NkT

where fis the degree of freedom.

Argon is monatomic gas,so it has degree of freedom as f=3.

U=32NkTU=32nRTU=328.31300U=3739.5J.

The mass of argon mole is 39.948g.So the Argon mass molecule is

m=Mass of one moleNumber of atoms one moleNAm=39.9481036.0221023m=6.6341026kg.

03

Step: 3 Finding the Argon gas entropy mole:

Substituting the values as k=1.381023JK1;h=6.6261034Js,

we get

S=Nkln0.02466.022102346.62610263739.536.02210236.6261034232+52S=Nkln0.02462.459610326.0221023+52S=Nkln(10047519)+52S=6.02210231.381023[18.62]S=154.76JK1.

Because argon has a larger mass than helium, this figure is somewhat higher.

Use a computer to produce a table and graph, like those in this section, for the case where one Einstein solid contains 200 oscillators, the other contains100 oscillators, and there are 100 units of energy in total. What is the most probable macrostate, and what is its probability? What is the least probable macrostate, and what is its probability?

For either a monatomic ideal gas or a high-temperature Einstein solid, the entropy is given by times some logarithm. The logarithm is never large, so if all you want is an order-of-magnitude estimate, you can neglect it and just say . That is, the entropy in fundamental units is of the order of the number of particles in the system. This conclusion turns out to be true for most systems (with some important exceptions at low temperatures where the particles are behaving in an orderly way). So just for fun, make a very rough estimate of the entropy of each of the following: this book (a kilogram of carbon compounds); a moose of water ; the sun of ionized hydrogen .

Consider a two-state paramagnet with 1023elementary dipoles, with the total energy fixed at zero so that exactly half the dipoles point up and half point down.

(a) How many microstates are "accessible" to this system?

(b) Suppose that the microstate of this system changes a billion times per second. How many microstates will it explore in ten billion years (the age of the universe)?

(c) Is it correct to say that, if you wait long enough, a system will eventually be found in every "accessible" microstate? Explain your answer, and discuss the meaning of the word "accessible."

Calculate the multiplicity of an Einstein solid with 30oscillators and 30units of energy. (Do not attempt to list all the microstates.)

Find an expression for the entropy of the two-dimensional ideal gas considered in Problem 2.26. Express your result in terms of U,AandN.
