Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The plot of molar entropy of a collection of harmonic oscillators as a function of T/θV is to be plotted.  Also, the standard molar entropy of ethyne at 298K is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Entropy is a thermodynamic property which shows the randomness or disorder of the atoms within the system.  The randomness of the molecules increases when solid is melted and liquid is converted into the vapor state.  As in vapor state particles move freely because they are at larger distances from each other.

The molar entropy of a collection of oscillations is expressed by the formula shown below.

    Sm=Nk{βεeβε1ln(1eβε)}

Explanation of Solution

The molar entropy of a collection of oscillations is expressed by the formula shown below.

    Sm=Nk{βεeβε1ln(1eβε)}        (1)

The value of βε is calculated by the formula shown below.

    βε=hcν¯kT        (2)

Where,

  • h is the Planck constant (6.626×1034Js).
  • c is the speed of light (2.998×108m/s=2.998×1010cm/s).
  • ν¯ is the wavenumber.
  • k is the Boltzmann constant with value 1.38×1023J/K.

Also, the term θV is expressed as shown below.

  hcν¯k=θV        (3)

Therefore, the value of βε is expressed as shown below.
