Question

calculate the entropy of a system which is in thermodynamical equilibrium with 10 distinguishable and non-imteracting particles having soin 1/2

Answer 1

Answer:

Consider a systems of N>>1 identical, distinguishable and independent particles that can be placed in three energy levels of energies 0, E and 2€, respectively. Only the level of energy sis degenerate, of degeneracy g=2. This system is in equilibrium with a heat reservoir at temperature T. a) Obtain the partition function of the system. b) What is the probability of finding each particle in each energy level? c) Calculate the average energy <B>, the specific heat at constant volume. Cv, and the entropy S, of the system. d) Define the high and low temperature limits. Give the mean energy and the entropy of the system in these limits. Justify qualitatively these results.
