- 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).arrow_forwardIn Debye Approximation the entropy at some temperature T (less than 10 K) is aT(Blank 1 ) /3 If the value of this entropy at T = 3.5 K is 1.55 J / K , then the value of the coefficient "a" is : ( Blank 2)arrow_forwardFor one component gas that is confined in a box with volume V.

- Using the information provided (image), compare the change in entropy during the isothermal expansion from 1 L to 2 L of one mole of a rigid diatomic ideal gas and one mole of a rigid diatomic Van der Waals gas with b = 0.08 L/mol (ethanol). Are the changes in entropy the same for both or is one greater than the other?arrow_forwardShow that during the quasistatic isothermal expansion of a monatomic ideal gas, the change in entropy is related to the heat input Q by the simple formula. SΔ= Q/TIn the following chapter I'll prove that this formula is valid for any quasistatic process. Show, however, that it is not valid for the free expansion process described above.arrow_forwardPolymers, like rubber, are made of very long molecules, usually tangled up in a configuration that has lots of entropy. As a very crude model of a rubber band, consider a chain of N links, each of length L Imagine that each link has only two possible states, pointing either left or right. The total length L of the rubber band is the net displacement from the beginning of the first link to the end of the last link. Using the thermodynamic identity, you can now express the tension force F in terms of a partial derivative of the entropy. From this expression, compute the tension in terms of L, T , N, and l.arrow_forward

Thermodnamics Calculate the change ΔGm in the Gibbs energy of 1 mol of liquid mercury initially at 1 bar pressure if a pressure of 1000 bar is applied to it.

The entropy of argon is given to a good approximation by the expression: Sm/J K–1 mol–1 = 36.36 + 20.79 ln(T/K).

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.
