According to the Sackur-Tetrode equation, the entropy of a monatomic ideal gas can become negative when its temperature (and hence its energy) is sufficiently low. Of course this is absurd, so the Sackur-Tetrode equation must be invalid at very low temperatures. Suppose you start with a sample of helium at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, then lower the temperature holding the density fixed. Pretend that the helium remains a gas and does not liquefy. Below what temperature would the Sackur-Tetrode equation predict that Sis negative? (The behavior of gases at very low temperatures is the main subject of Chapter 7.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The critical temperature of helium at room temperature and atmospheric pressure isTcrit=0.01213.

Step by step solution

01

Step: 1 Getting degree of freedom:

By Sackur-Tetrode formulua for 3-dideal gas is

S=NklnVN4mU3Nh222+52

WhereVrepresents volume, Urepresents energy,Nrepresents the number of molecules, mrepresents the mass of a single molecule, and hrepresents Planck's constant. The logarithm term can go below-5/2if the energy Ufalls low enough, making Snegative. Because this is not conceivable, the Sackur-Tetrode equation must fail at low energies.

The monatomic gas of inernal energy is

U=f2NkT

Where, fis degree of freedom,the monatomic gas has localid="1650268768225" f=3.

localid="1650268764922" U=32NkT

Step: 2 Equating critical temperature:

Having an mole of helium and it cools.

The critical temperaature form as

52=lnVN4mUcrit3Nh232

substituting equation we get,

52=lnVN4m32NkTcrit3Nh23252=lnVN2mkTcrith232

Taking exponential on both sides,

As eln(a)=awe get,

e52=VN2mkTcrith2322mkTcrith2=NVe5223Tcrit=h22mkNVe5223

Step: 3 Finding critical temperature value:

The mole mass of helium is 4.0026gso, the molecule of mass helium is

m=Mass of one moleNumber of atoms one moleNAm=4.00261036.0221023m=6.6461027kg.

From ideal-gas law,the pressure of 1atm=101325Paand temperature of 300K.

The volume occupies one one mole is

V=nRTPV=8.31300101325V=0.0246m3.

Substituting the values of k=1.381023JK1and h=6.6261034Jsinto equation we get

Tcrit=6.6261034226.64610271.3810236.02210230.0246e5223Tcrit=0.01213

In reality, because helium liquefies at roughly 4K, formula appears to be valid for the region where helium is still a gas.

Show that during the quasistatic isothermal expansion of a monatomic ideal gas, the change in entropy is related to the heat input Qby the simple formula

s=QT

In the following chapter I'll prove that this formula is valid for any quasistatic process. Show, however, that it is not valid for the free expansion process described above.

Use a computer to plot formula 2.22directly, as follows. Define z=q_{A}/q, so that (1-z)=q_{B}/q. Then, aside from an overall constant that we'll ignore, the multiplicity function is [4z(1-z)]N, where zranges from 0to1and the factor of 4ensures that the height of the peak is equal to 1for any N. Plot this function forN=1,10,100,1000, and 10,000. Observe how the width of the peak decreases asNincreases.

Calculate the number of possible five-card poker hands, dealt from a deck of 52 cards. (The order of cards in a hand does not matter.) A royal flush consists of the five highest-ranking cards (ace, king, queen, jack, 10) of any one of the four suits. What is the probability of being dealt a royal flush (on the first deal)?

Consider a system of two Einstein solids, with N{A} = 300, N{B} = 200 and q{total} = 100 (as discussed in Section 2.3). Compute the entropy of the most likely macrostate and of the least likely macrostate. Also compute the entropy over long time scales, assuming that all microstates are accessible. (Neglect the factor of Boltzmann's constant in the definition of entropy; for systems this small it is best to think of entropy as a pure number.) 65

For an Einstein solid with each of the following values of N and q , list all of the possible microstates, count them, and verify formula (N,q)=q+N1q=(q+N1)!q!(N1)!

(a) N=3,q=4

(b)N=3,q=5

(c) N=3,q=6

(d) N=4,q=2

(e) N=4,q=3

(f) N=1,q=anything

(g) N= anything, q=1
