Question

The degeneracies are g* g. = 3 for Ca. Find N/N, at 2500 K.​

Answer 1

Given: The degeneracies are g* / g = 3.

To find: N* / N at 2500 K.​

Solution:

• As we have given the ratio of G* and G as 3.

• The formula for N*/N is:

                N*/N  = ( g* / g ) x e^(-ΔE/kT)

                      where, ΔE = 4.699 x 10^-19 J/molecule

                                    k is the constant = 1.381 x 10^-23 J / K

                                    T  is temperature given= 2500 K

• So, putting the values in the above formula, we get:

                N*/N  = 3 x e^ { (-4.699 x 10^-19) / (1.381 x 10^-23) (2500 )

                N*/N  = 3.67 x 10^-6

Answer:

               So the value of N* / N at 2500 K. is 3.67 x 10^-6.
