2. The heat capacity of one mole of aluminum at low temperature (below 50 K) follows the form

CV = aT+bT3

where a = 0.00135 J/K2 and b = 2.48×10-5 J/K4. (The first term comes from the free electrons and the second term is due to lattice vibrations.) Use this expression to derive a formula for the molar entropy of aluminum as a function of temperature, assuming that the entropy at 0 K is zero. Finally, determine the ratio of the multiplicity of a mole of aluminum at 10 K to its value at 1 K.

3. In order to take a nice warm bath, you mix 50 liters of hot water at 55 ◦C with 25 liters of cold water at 10 ◦C. Assume that the tub is insulated fiberglass that thermally isolates the water. You can also assume that the mixing happens quickly enough that energy is not lost to the air through the open surface of the water.

(a) How much heat is involved in warming the water?

(b) How much entropy did you create?

For a three-dimensional (3D) solid, we have found the low-temperature heat capacity to be proportional to T3. How does it depend on the temperature for the two-dimensional (2D) graphene? Hint: In order to give a correct answer to this question, you have to know a curious fact about the phonon dispersion in graphene. We have seen that the acoustic phonon branches in both one dimension and 3D have a dispersion with ?(k) ∝ k. For graphene, this is not so:...
