Suppose you have 2 russet potatoes in your pantry that could be in any one of four states ranging from fresh to um...not so fresh...let's quantify these states in terms of energies: 0 eV (fresh), 1 eV, 2 eV, 3 eV (nope). Compute the probability of each potato being in the ground state and the first state, respectively, at a. а сool 290 K. b. Assuming the potatoes will survive, how does the probability change at a temperature 5x greater? What is the average energy of the potato situation for these two temperatures? С.
