Chapter 15. Statistical Thermodynamics
www.chem.tamu.eduStatistical Thermodynamics Statistical thermodynamics provides the link between the microscopic (i.e., molecular) properties of matter and its macroscopic (i.e., bulk) properties. It provides a means of calculating thermodynamic properties from the statistical relationship between temperature and energy.
16 Statistical thermodynamics 1 - USTC
staff.ustc.edu.cnStatistical thermodynamics 1: the concepts Statistical thermodynamics provides the link between the microscopic properties of matter and its bulk properties. Two key ideas are introduced in this chapter. The first is the Boltzmann distribution, which is used to predict the populations of states in systems at thermal equilibrium.
Chapter 20: Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
astro1.panet.utoledo.edu(statistical thermodynamics) Let’s bring the numbers down to illustrate the relationship between entropy and probability. Consider an insulated box containing six molecules (N=6). The box is divided into the left half and the right half. Let n 1 be the number of molecules in the left half and n 2 be the number of molecules in the right half ...

staff.ustc.edu.cn590 17 STATISTICAL THERMODYNAMICS 2: APPLICATIONS (a) The Helmholtz energy The Helmholtz energy, A, is defined as A =U −TS.This relation implies that A(0) = U(0), so substitution for U and S by using eqn 17.1 leads to the very simple expression A −A(0) =−kT ln Q (17.2) (b) The pressure By an argument like that leading to eqn 3.31, it follows from A = U − TS …
