1) Define Boltzmann statistical partition function.
b) estimate the value of stastistical entropy (microstate) for 1.000mol of helum at 298.15k and 1.000atm using the value of the third law entropy,126JK-1 comment on your answer
a) Definition of Boltzmann statistical partition function:
Where,
S - Statistical Entropy
- Boltzmann Constant
W - Probability of the microstate to occur
b) To calculate the statistical entropy for 'n' no. of microstates, the number of microstates should be defined. As the number of microstates is not defined, we will consider that there is just one microstate that exists for the given system.
Hence the probability of the given microstate to occur is 1
ln(1) = 0
Thus for the given system, the entropy is zero.
