Using the same method as in the text, calculate the entropy of mixing for a system of two monatomic ideal gases, Aand B, whose relative proportion is arbitrary. Let Nbe the total number of molecules and letx be the fraction of these that are of speciesB . You should find

Smixing=Nk[xlnx+(1x)ln(1x)]

Check that this expression reduces to the one given in the text whenx=1/2 .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The entropy mixing system of two monatomic ideal gases is, Smixing=Nk((1x)ln(1x)+xln(x))

Step by step solution

01

Step: 1 Equating total volume:

The Sackur-Tetrode formula by 3-dideal gas,

S=NklnVN4mU3Nh232+52

Where,Vrepresents volume, Urepresents energy, Nrepresents the number of molecules, mrepresents the mass of a single molecule, and hrepresents Planck's constant.

NB=xNNA=(1x)N

the total volume fractions is

VB=xVVA=(1x)V

02

Step: 2 Volume changes:

From the above equation,

S=NklnVN4mU3Nh232+52S=Nkln(V)+ln1N4mU3Nh232+52ln1N4mU3Nh232

The change in entropy process where the volume changes is

S=SfSi=NklnVflnViS=NklnVfVi

The volume change for two gases is

SA=NAklnVA,fVA,iSB=NBklnVB,fVB,i

03

Step: 3 Finding entropy mixing:

The volume of gas part Astarts from VA=(1x)Vand ends with total volume container role="math" localid="1650278031887" V.

The part Bstarts from VB=xVand ends with total volume container V.

SA=(1x)NklnV(1x)VSB=xNklnVxVSA=(1x)Nkln1(1x)=(1x)Nkln(1x)SB=xNkln1x=xNkln(x)

After mixing the total entropy change is entropy of mixing by

Smixing=SA+SB=Nk((1x)ln(1x)+xln(x))Smixing=Nk((1x)ln(1x)+xln(x))

Both logarithms are negative so 0<x<1, soSmixing>0.If x=12so,the two equal quantities of gases starting by

Smixing=Nkln2

Since Nis the number of molecules of each gas,not total number.

Use Stirling's approximation to find an approximate formula for the multiplicity of a two-state paramagnet. Simplify this formula in the limit NNto obtain Ne/NN. This result should look very similar to your answer to Problem 2.17; explain why these two systems, in the limits considered, are essentially the same.

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

Suppose you flip 20 fair coins.

(a) How many possible outcomes (microstates) are there?

(b) What is the probability of getting the sequence HTHHTTTHTHHHTHHHHTHT (in exactly that order)?

(c) What is the probability of getting 12 heads and 8 tails (in any order)?

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.

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?
