Calculate AS (for the system) when the state of 2.00 mol diatomic perfect gas molecules, for which Cp,m = (7/2)R, is changed from 25 C and 1.50 atm to 135 C and 7.00 atm.
A certain molecule can exist in either a nondegenerate singlet state or a triplet state (with degeneracy of 3). The energy of the triplet exceeds that of the singlet by ε. When ?=??(where T is a set value, i.e., ? is a constant), calculate the values of the molecular partition function, molar heat capacity, and molar entropy. Assume the molecules are distinguishable and independent
