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.

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 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.

Suppose you flip 50fair coins.

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

(b) How many ways are there of getting exactly25heads and25tails?

(c) What is the probability of getting exactly 25heads and 25tails?

(d) What is the probability of getting exactly 30heads and 20tails?

(e) What is the probability of getting exactly 40heads and 10 tails?

(f) What is the probability of getting 50heads and no tails?

(g) Plot a graph of the probability of getting n heads, as a function of n.

A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Throwing something into a black hole is therefore an irreversible process, at least in the everyday sense of the word. In fact, it is irreversible in the thermodynamic sense as well: Adding mass to a black hole increases the black hole's entropy. It turns out that there's no way to tell (at least from outside) what kind of matter has gone into making a black hole. Therefore, the entropy of a black hole must be greater than the entropy of any conceivable type of matter that could have been used to create it. Knowing this, it's not hard to estimate the entropy of a black hole.
aUse dimensional analysis to show that a black hole of mass Mshould have a radius of order GM/c2, where Gis Newton's gravitational constant and cis the speed of light. Calculate the approximate radius of a one-solar-mass black holeM=21030kg .
bIn the spirit of Problem 2.36, explain why the entropy of a black hole, in fundamental units, should be of the order of the maximum number of particles that could have been used to make it.

cTo make a black hole out of the maximum possible number of particles, you should use particles with the lowest possible energy: long-wavelength photons (or other massless particles). But the wavelength can't be any longer than the size of the black hole. By setting the total energy of the photons equal toMc2 , estimate the maximum number of photons that could be used to make a black hole of mass M. Aside from a factor of 82, your result should agree with the exact formula for the entropy of a black hole, obtained* through a much more difficult calculation:

Sb.h.=82GM2hck

d Calculate the entropy of a one-solar-mass black hole, and comment on the result.

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.
