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.

P2D.8 Use the fact that (∂U/∂V)T = a/Vm2for a van der Waals gas (Topic 1C)to show that μCp,m ≈ (2a/RT) − b by using the definition of μ and appropriaterelations between partial derivatives. Hint: Use the approximation pVm ≈ RTwhen it is justifiable to do so.
It turns out van der Waals was very careful when “designing” the van der Waals equation: P = [RT / (Vm−b)] − (a / V^2m). If you’re not sure, let’s see why he divided the "a" term by V^2m and not Vm. Specifically, can you calculate the residual volume of an alternative equation of state: P = [RT / (Vm − b)] − (a / Vm) and show that the residual volume is -∞ L/mol

In the canonical ensemble, we control the variables T, p, and N, and the fundamental function is the Gibbs free energy (G). But if we control T, p, and μ, then we will have a different fundamental function, Z (This is the case for cells that often regulate their temperature, pressure, and chemical potentials to maintain equilibrium). Which of the below options should the Z function equal? H - TS - μN H + TS + μN H + TS - μN G + μN F - pV - μN -H + TS + μN
