Boltzmann statistics of Ideal gas

In statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, Maxwell - Boltzmann statistics explains the statistical distribution of the energies of the classic gas molecules over different states in thermal equilibrium. Maxwell Boltzmann statistics helps us to derive the Maxwell - Boltzmann distribution of ideal gas molecules, which is the result of the kinetic theory of gases.

Why does a nonquasi-equilibrium compression process require a larger work input than the corresponding quasiequilibrium one?
In this problem you are to consider an adiabaticexpansion of an ideal diatomic gas, which means that the gas expands with no addition or subtraction of heat. Assume that the gas is initially at pressure p0, volume V0, and temperature T0. In addition, assume that the temperature of the gas is such that you can neglect vibrational degrees of freedom. Thus, the ratio of heat capacities is γ=Cp/CV=7/5. Note that, unless explicitly stated, the variable γshould not appear in your answers--if needed use the fact that γ=7/5 for an ideal diatomic gas. Find an analytic expression for p(V), the pressure as a function of volume, during the adiabatic expansion. Express the pressure in terms of V and any or all of the given initial values p0, T0, and V0. p(V) = __________

Calculate the entropy of fusion of a compound at 25 °c given that its enthalpy of fusion is 36 kJ mol-1 at its melting point of 151 °c and the molar heat capacities (at constant pressure) of the liquid and solid forms are 33 J K-1 mol-1 and 17 J K-1 mol- 1, respectively.
Experimental measurements of the heat capacity of aluminum at low temperatures (below about 50 K) can be fit to the formula Cv = aT+bT3 ,where Cv is the heat capacity of one mole of aluminum, and the constants a and b are approximately a = 0.00135 J/K2 and b = 2.48 X 10-5 J/K4. From this data, find a formula for the entropy of a mole of aluminum as a function of temperature. Evaluate your formula at T = 1 K and at T = 10 K, expressing your answers both in conventional units (J/K) and as unitless numbers (dividing by Boltzmann's constant).

Consider two immiscible liquids such as water and oil. If a spherical oil molecule of radius r is taken out of the oil phase and placed in the water phase, the unfavorable energy of this transfer is proportional to the area of the solute (oil) molecule newly exposed to the solvent (water) multiplied by the interfacial energy, i, of the oil-water interface. The interfacial energy of the bulk cyclohexane-water interface is i = 50 mJ m-2, and the radius of a cyclohexane molecule is 0.28 nm. Using Boltzmann distribution, estimate the solubility of cyclohexane in water at 25 C in units of mol L-1.The concentration of water in water phase is 55.5 mol L-1.
