. An ideal classical gas composed of N particles, each of mass m, is enclosed in a vertical cylinder ofheight L placed in a uniform gravitational field (of acceleration g) and is in thermal equilibrium;ultimately, both N and L → ∞. Evaluate the partition function of the gas and derive expressions forits major thermodynamic properties. Explain why the specific heat of this system is larger than thatof a corresponding system in free space.

According to the energy according to the equipartition theorem of degrees of freedom, what is the internal energy of 5 moles of rigid diatomic ideal gas molecules at equilibrium at temperature T?
Part A: 10 moles of ideal gas initially at 10 atm and 250 K is expanded isothermally and reversibly to a final pressure of 2 atm. Calculate W, AU, and Q in Joules. Part B: The same gas in problem A, starting in the same initial state, is expanded isothermally against a constant external pressure of 2 atm, to a final pressure of 2 atm. Calculate W, AU, and Q in Joules for this irreversible process. Part C: The same gas in part B, starting in the same initial state, is expanded isothermally to a final pressure of 2 atm. The process is carried out in 4 stages. First the gas is expanded against a constant pressure of 8 atm, to 8 atm. Then the gas is expanded against a constant pressure of 6 atm, to 6 atm. Then the gas is expanded against a constant pressure of 4 atm, to 4 atm. Finally, the gas is expanded against a constant pressure of 2 atm, to 2 atm. Calculate W, AU, and Q in Joules for the 4-step process.
A container encloses 2 mol of an ideal gas that has molar mass M₁ and 0.5 mol of a second ideal gas that has molar mass M2 = 3M₁. What fraction of the total pressure on the container wall is attributable to the second gas? Note: The kinetic theory explanation of pressure leads to the experimentally discovered law of partial pressures for a mixture of gases that do not react chemically: The total pressure exerted by the mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that the several gases would exert separately if each were to occupy the vessel alone.
M A gas is allowed to expand into an empty chamber that doubles the volume it occupies (free expansion). If there were o available states before the expansion and 15 particles in the gas, how many available states will there be after the expansion into the other, equal chamber, as a multiplier of o? Be sure to express your factor withing 2%.
If a (non-ideal) gas has non-negligible attractive intermolecular forces, would you expect the temperature to increase, decrease, or stay the same during an iso-enthalpic expansion of the gas? Explain your reasoning.
