The Debye temperature of copper is 45K .

(a) Estimate its molar heat capacity at 100 K using the plot in Figure 9.33(b) .

(b) Determine its corresponding specific heat and compare it with the experimental value of 0.254闯/驳路碍.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The molar heat capacity of copper at 100 K is 47.30闯/尘辞濒路碍.
  2. The specific heat of copper corresponding to molar heat capacity obtained in the part (a) is0.743J/gK. It is higher than the experimentally calculated value.

Step by step solution

01

The Given Data

The Debye temperature of copper is 45K.

The temperature considered is 100K.

02

Concept of Phonons

In statistical mechanics, we consider the mechanical vibrations in a solid as free bosons having zero spin. these quantum of vibrations are called Phonons. They can travel from one point to another inside the solid.

The molar heat capacity is given by-

CV=1245R(TTD)3(1)

Where, R is ideal gas constant (R=8.314Jmol), Tis temperature and TDis Debye temperature.

The relationship between the molar heat capacity CV, and specific heat cm is given by,

cm=CVM(2)

Where, M is molar mass of the material, molar mass of copper is63.546g/mol

03

The molar heat capacity of copper.

a)

The Debye temperature ( TD) of copper is 345 K.

Using equation (1), for the Debye temperature 345K , we get-

CV=12458.314J/mol100K345K3=1939.72(0.29)3J/molK

The molar heat capacity of copper is 47.30J/molK.

04

The specific heat of copper.

b)
From the solution of part (a), The molar heat capacity of copper at 100K is known to be 47.30J/molK.

Substituting the numerical values in equation (2)

localid="1660140897696" cm=47.23J/molK63.54610-3kg/mol=743.23J/kgK=0.743J/gK

The specific heat capacity of copper at is found to be=0.743J/gK.

The experimentally calculated value of specific heat is =0.254J/gK, which is less than the calculated value

The entropy of an ideal monatomic gas is(3/2)NkBlnE+,NkBlnV-NkBlnN to within an additive constant. Show that this implies the correct relationship between internal energy Eand temperature.

Equation (9-27) gives the density of states for a system of oscillators but ignores spin. The result, simply one state per energy change ofbetween levels, is incorrect if particles are allowed different spin states at each level, but modification to include spin is easy. From Chapter 8, we know that a particle of spinis allowedspin orientations, so the number of states at each level is simply multiplied by this factor. Thus,

D(E)=(2s+1)/h0.

(a) Using this density of states, the definitionNh0/(2s+1)=1, and

N=0N(E)D(E)dE

calculate the parameterin the Boltzmann distribution (9-31) and show that the distribution can thus be rewritten as

N(E)Boltz=kBT1eE/kBT

(b) Argue that ifkBT>>,the occupation number is much less than 1 for all E.

From elementary electrostatics the total electrostatic potential energy in a sphere of uniform charge Q and radius R is given by

(b) How does this result fit with Exercise 87?

Exercise 52 gives the Boltzmann distribution for the special case of simple harmonic oscillators, expressed in terms of the constant, N0/(2s+1)and Exercise 53 gives the two quantum distributions in that case. Show that both quantum distributions converge to the Boltzmann in the limitkBT.

Consider a simple thermodynamic system in which particles can occupy only two states: a lower state, whose energy we define as 0 , and an upper state, energyEu

(a) Cany out the sum (with only two states, integration is certainly not valid) giving the average particle energy E. and plot your result as a function of temperature.

(b) Explain qualitatively why it should behave as it does,

(c) This system can be used as a model of paramagnetic, where individual atoms' magnetic moments can either be aligned or anti aligned with an external magnetic field, giving a low or high energy, respectively. Describe how the average alignment or antialignment depends on temperature. Does it make sense'?
