#1
Front (Question)

Expression for weight, W

Back (Answer)

W = N! / n0! x n1! x n2! x … x nn!

#2
Front (Question)

formula for Boltzmann distribution

Back (Answer)

ni = n0e−εi /kT • ni is the number of molecules in energy level i • εi is the energy of i • n0 is the population of the ground level, which has energy 0 • k is Boltzmann’s constant (k = R/NA, where NA is Avogadro’s constant) Verbally, as the energy of a level increases, its population decreases. Levels with energies less than or similar to kT have significant populations. So ground level is most populated

#3
Front (Question)

Entropy is related to the number of ways of achieving a configuration. Give its formula in terms of this.

Back (Answer)

S = k lnW

#4
Front (Question)

An object at temperature T reversibly absorbs a small amount of heat. Give the formula for the entropy change.

Back (Answer)

dS = δqrev/T

#5
Front (Question)

Give the formula for the entropy change of the universe

Back (Answer)

∆Suniv = ∆Ssys + ∆Ssurr = ∆Ssys - qsys/Tsys

#6
Front (Question)

equation for the first law of thermodynamics

Back (Answer)

∆U = q + w q, heat absorbed by system w, work done on system

#7
Front (Question)

ideal gas equation and units used?

Back (Answer)

pV = nRT • P in Pa (Nm-1) • V in m3 • n in mol • T in K • R in J K-1 mol-1

#8
Front (Question)

A gas is confined inside a cylinder by a piston. Give the expression for the work done by the gas when the piston moves.

Back (Answer)

δw’ = pextdV work done by gas = external pressure x change in volume of gas

#9
Front (Question)

Integrated relationship for work done by a gas, when the gas expands from volume vi to vf, against constant external pressure.

Back (Answer)

w’ = pext(Vf - Vi)

#10
Front (Question)

Integrated relationship for work done by an ideal gas, when the gas expands isothermally from volume vi to vi.

Back (Answer)

w’ = nRTln(Vf/Vi)

#11
Front (Question)

What expression gives the heat absorbed in a reversible, isothermal expansion of an ideal gas, from volume Vi to Vf?

Back (Answer)

qrev = nRTln(Vf/Vi) isothermal and ideal so w’ = q

#12
Front (Question)

What expression gives the entropy change of the gas in a reversible, isothermal expansion of an ideal gas, from volume Vi to Vf?

Back (Answer)

∆S = nRln(Vf/Vi)
