Q.No : 41
Partition function of a system is evaluated at two different temperatures - 1000K and 500K. At what temperature will the partition
function be more?
OA) 1000K
OB) 500K
c) Both will be the same
OD) Partition function is independent of temperature.​

Answer 1

Answer:

OD) Partition function is independent of temperature.

Answer 2

Partition function

Explanation:

• The partition function applies the findings of a quantum mechanical investigation of the energy levels to the system's thermodynamics and kinetics.
• Independent of the degree of freedom of the system (any individual energy storage movement coordinate)Another intriguing feature of z is that, despite the fact that we've been thinking about an assembly For N atoms or molecules, z is independent of the number of units in the arrangement.  
• As a result, z is defined in terms of a single unit's energy levels and can be thought of as a single unit's partition function.
• Of course, we can define a partition function for a group of units, in which case the total partition function is the product of the individual unit partition functions.
• Consider a set of two identical yet identifiable harmonic oscillators as an example.
• Temperature increases the influence of higher electronic states on partition function, which may be approximated using e.

Therefore, the partition function increases with temperature.
