In 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)
Prove that the entropy of mixing of an ideal mixture has aninfinite slope, when plotted vs. x, at x = 0 and x = l.
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.

- The volume of a monatomic ideal gas triples in an isothermalexpansion. By what factor does its pressure change?arrow_forwardExperimental 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.
