1. Consider a gas of molecules in thermal equilibrium with temperature T and a number n per area, confined to a 2-D flat surface.

-What is the kinetic energy per area of the gas?

-What is the force per length that these molecules exert on an edge of the surface?

-If there are diatomic molecules, what is the rotational energy per area of the gas? (Assume that each atom of each molecules is confined to a flat surface)

Consider a gas of diatomic molecules at temperature T, each with moment of inertia I. If Eg is the ground-state energy and Eex is the energy of an excited state, then the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution predicts that the ratio of the number of molecules in the two states is nex ng = e −(Eex−Eg)/kBT . (1) a) Suppose we consider the excited state to be the ℓth rotational energy level, and the ground state to be ℓ = 0. Show that...

A solid surface is in diffusive and thermal equilibrium with a monatomic ideal gas at temperature t and chemical potential μ. An adsorption site on the solid surface can be either empty (energy ε0 = 0), singly occupied (ε1 = ε), or doubly occupied (ε2 = 2ε) by an atom from the gas. If two atoms adsorb onto the same site, they also interact by a vibrational mode of frequency w. Thus, the energy of a doubly occupied site can...
