5
Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 195 Isothermal Expansion Reversible route between same states. đQ = đW + dU Since T is constant, dU = 0. Then, đQ = đW.
6
Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 196 Entropy Change The entropy of the gas increased. For the isothermal expansion, the entropy of the Reservoir decreased by the same amount. So for the system plus reservoir, S = 0 For the free expansion, there was no reservoir.

Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 1929 Math Tricks For a system with levels that have a constant spacing (e.g. harmonic oscillator) the partition function can be evaluated easily. In that case, n = n , so,
30
Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 1930 Heat Capacity of Solids Each atom has 6 degrees of freedom, so based on equipartition, each atom should have an average energy of 3kT. The energy per mole would be 3RT. The heat capacity at constant volume would be the derivative of this with respect to T, or 3R. That works at high enough temperatures, but approaches zero at low temperature.
31
Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 1931 Heat Capacity Einstein found a solution by treating the solid as a collection of harmonic oscillators all of the same frequency. The number of oscillators was equal to three times the number of atoms, and the frequency was chosen to fit experimental data for each solid. Your class assignment is to treat the problem as Einstein did.
