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.

Describe a few of your favorite, and least favorite, irreversible processes. In each case, explain how you can tell that the entropy of the universe increases.

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

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."

Use a pocket calculator to check the accuracy of Stirling's approximation forN=50 . Also check the accuracy of equation 2.16forlnN! .

The mathematics of the previous problem can also be applied to a one-dimensional random walk: a journey consisting of Nsteps, all the same sic, cache chosen randomly to be cither forward or backward. (The usual mental image is that of a drunk stumbling along an alley.)

(a) Where are you most likely to find yourself, after the end of a long random walk?

(b) Suppose you take a random walk of 10,000steps (say each a yard long). About how far from your starting point would you expect to be at the end?

(c) A good example of a random walk in nature is the diffusion of a molecule through a gas; the average step length is then the mean free path, as computed in Section 1.7.Using this model, and neglecting any small numerical factors that might arise from the varying step size and the multidimensional nature of the path, estimate the expected net displacement of an air molecule (or perhaps a carbon monoxide molecule traveling through air) in one second, at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Discuss how your estimate would differ if the clasped time or the temperature were different. Check that your estimate is consistent with the treatment of diffusion in Section1.7.
