Calculate the separation between the two lowest translational energy levels for an O2 molecule in a cubic box with sides of length 5.0 cm. At what value of n = n1 = n2 = n3 does the energy of the molecule reach 3 2 kT at 300 K, and what is the separation of this level from one of the degenerate levels immediately below?

The Madelung constant for the NaCl structure may be found by summing an infinite alternating series of terms giving the electrostatic potential energy between an Na+ ion and its 6 nearest Cl neighbors, its 12 next-nearest N+ neighbors, and so on (see Fig. 12.1a). (a) From this expression, show that the first three terms of the infinite series for the Madelung constant for the NaCl structure yield = 2.13. (b) Does this infinite series converge rapidly?

To obtain a more clearly defined picture of the FermiDirac distribution, consider a system of 20 FermiDirac particles sharing 94 units of energy. By drawing diagrams like Figure P10.11, show that there are nine different microstates. Using Equation 10.2, calculate and plot the average number of particles in each energy level from 0 to 14E. Locate the Fermi energy at 0 K on your plot from the fact that electrons at 0 K fill all the levels consecutively up to the Fermi energy. (At 0 K the system no longer has 94 units of energy, but has the minimum amount of 90E.) 1 Microstate8 others?
