What are the basic concepts of energy, entropy, temperature and Balzmann Distribution. Use weight and most probable distribution to connect them.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Energy of the system is defined as the Total sum of energies of each individual molecules/particles in the system. (Both Kinetic and Potential Energy).

Entropy of a system is defined as the measure of chaos/diorder in a particular system (it is related to number of microstates in the system, more microstates means more places which gives rise to more chaos).

Temperature is a quantity that measures the amount of heat in a particular system. It can be measured as per a particular scale or can be also absolute.

We have to connect Boltzmann Distribution, Energy, Entropy and Temperature. Boltzmann Distribution is used to represent a state of the particles in the system,

Here E is the Energy of the system, and T is the temperature of the system.

The entropy of the system is given by Boltzmann's entropy formula, which is.

Here k is Boltzmann constant and W is the most probable distribution. (ie. the number of real microstates)
