II. ENTROPY AND DISTINGUISHABILITY (Adapted from Blundell & Blundell) The Sackur-Tetrode equation for the entropy of an ideal gas is given by where ρ-N/V is the (number) density of the gas, and th-hN2tmkBT is the thermal wavelength a) [5 marks] Show that S is an extensive quantity. b) [5 marks] Show that the entropy of a gas of distinguishable particles is instead given by relationship Swhere Fis the Helm or where F is the Helmholtz free energy. c) [5 marks]...
Hydrogen in a fixed volume box placed in a heat bath will eventually io nize. At any one time you will have 3 particles in the box. Assuming a fixed number of protons and electrons, write an expression for Helmholtz free energy as a function of 7, V.NH, lingt, at- and any necessary constants. You may treat each constituent as an ideal gas. Hints: You will need this form of Sackur-Tetrode (although you'll need to account for mixed state entropy)...
