Problem 44P

Consider a large system of N indistinguishable, noninteracting molecules. (perhaps in an Ideal gas or a dilute solution) . find an expression for the Helmholtz  free energy of this system, in terms of Z1 , the partition function for a single molecule. (Use Stirling’ s approximation to eliminate the N!) Then use your result to find the chemical potential, again in terms of Zl.
