Chapter 13, Problem 13E.8AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molar entropy of ${\text{Co}}^{\text{2+}}$ has to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Statistical thermodynamics is used to describe all the possible configurations in a system at given physical quantities such as pressure, temperature, and a number of particles in the system.  The important quantity in the thermodynamic is partition function that is represented as,

  $q\equiv {\displaystyle \sum _i{g}_i{e}^{-\beta {\in }_i}}$

The molar entropy is given by the equation below.

  $S_{\text{m}}^{\text{R}}=\frac{U_{\text{m}}\left(T\right)-U_{\text{m}}\left(0\right)}{T}+R\ln q$
