Compute the entropy of a mole of helium at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, pretending that all the atoms are distinguishable. Compare to the actual entropy, for indistinguishable atoms, computed in the text.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The actual entropy indistinguishable atoms isSdist=572.816JK1.

Step by step solution

01

Step: 1 

The Sackur-Tetrode formula by 3-dideal gas is

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.These are some of the assumptions used to generate this formula is that the molecules are indistinguishable, therefore altering any of the molecules makes no change in any arrangement of the molecules in position and momentum space. This assumption inserts the N! component into the multiplicity function's denominator.

role="math" localid="1650281260492" VN(4mU)3N2h3NN!3N2!VN(4mU)3N2h3N3N2!

The logarithm factor VNloses its N, we get

Sdist=NklnVN4mU3Nh232+32

02

Step: 2 Finding degree of freedom:

The mole mass of helium is 4.0026g,the mass of helium molecule 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 300Kone mole occupies a volume of

V=nRTPV=8.31300101325V=0.0246m3.

The monatomic gas of internal energy is

U=f2NkT

Helium is monatomic gas so f=3.

03

Step: 3 

By degree of freedom,

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

Substituting the values ofk=1.381023JK1;h=6.6261034Js, we get

Sdist=NklnV4mU3Nh232+32Sdist=Nkln0.024646.64610273739.536.02210236.6261034232+32Sdist=6.02210231.381023[68.928]Sdist=572.816JK1

Because there are many more molecular orbitals accessible to the system if the molecules are distinct, the entropy is substantially larger.

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.)

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 .

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 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.

Suppose you flip1000 coins.
a What is the probability of getting exactly 500heads and 500tails? (Hint: First write down a formula for the total number of possible outcomes. Then, to determine the "multiplicity" of the 500-500"macrostate," use Stirling's approximation. If you have a fancy calculator that makes Stirling's approximation unnecessary, multiply all the numbers in this problem by 10, or 100, or1000, until Stirling's approximation becomes necessary.)
bWhat is the probability of getting exactly 600heads and400 tails?
