An Introduction to Thermal Physics 1
Problem 35P According to the Sackur-Tetrode equation, the entropy of a monatomic ideal gas can become negative when its temperature (and hence its energy) is sufficiently low. Of course this is absurd, so the Sackur-Tetrode equation must be invalid at very low temperatures. Suppose you start with a s

Problem 13PE Conversations with astronauts on the lunar surface were characterized by a kind of echo in which the earthbound persons voice was so loud in the astronauts space helmet that it was picked up by the astronauts microphone and transmitted back to Earth. It is reasonable to assume that the

A heavy rainstorm dumps 1.0 cm of rain on a city 5 km wide and 8 km long in a 2-h period. How many metric tons (1 metric ton = 103 kg) of water fell on the city? [\(1\ \text{cm}^3\) of water has a mass of \(1\ \text{gram}=10^{-3}\ \text{kg}\).] How many gallons of water was this?

The reactivity of an atom arises from a. the average distance of the outermost electron shell from the nucleus. b. the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell. c. the sum ofthe potential energies of all the electron shells. d. the potential energy of the valence shell. e. the energy diff

(a) What is the ratio of the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the Sun in the winter and the force that it exerts in the summer? (b) How many correct answers can you give for part (a)? (Hint: Earths orbit is an ellipse with the Sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse. Think about the

In 1828, Whler was the first person to synthesize an organic compound (urea, from ammonium cyanate). How did this contribute, ultimately, to biochemistry?
