Joseph Lister (1827-1912) was one of the first to believe in Pasteur’s germ theory of infection. He experimented with using carbolic acid to disinfect operating rooms during amputations. When carbolic acid was used, 34/40 lived. When it wasn’t used, 19/35 patients lived. Let C = the event that carbolic acid was used and s = the event that the person survived. a. express the given information in symbolic form (in terms of C and S) and in a two-way table...

Consider a free fermion gas of N particles in a volume V at zero temperature. The total kinetic energy of the gas is U = (3/5)N epsilon-F with epsilon-F = (hbar^2/2m)((3(π^2)N)/V )^ 2/3 . (a) Using the thermodynamic identity show that the pressure of the gas is given by p = − (∂U/∂V )σ,N . (b) Derive an expression of the degenerated-gas pressure and express your final result in terms of U and V .
