Exercise 3.1 Derive the temperature of the system, and show that $U = \frac{2N\epsilon}{e^{\beta \epsilon} + 2}$, where $\beta = 1/k_B T$, as defined in Eq. (2.8, p 47).

Step 1
Step 1: Start with the definition of temperature in statistical mechanics, which is given by the relation β = (1) / (k_B)T, where β is the inverse temperature, k_B is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature. Show more…

Calculate the temperature at which $\Delta G_{\text { system }}=-34.7 \mathrm{kJ}$ if $\Delta H_{\text { system }}=-28.8 \mathrm{kJ}$ and $\Delta S_{\text { system }}=22.2 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{K}$ .
Calculate $q$, and determine whether heat is absorbed or released when a system does work on the surroundings equal to $64 \mathrm{~J}$ and $\Delta U=213 \mathrm{~J}$.

Show that the heat capacity of a system can be written as $C=T d^{2}(k T \ln Z) / d T^{2}$, where $Z$ is the partition function $Z=\sum_{i} g_{i} e^{-\beta E_{i}}$. [Hint: Use the results of Problem $15.52 .$
