Chapter 17, Problem 17.45E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation 17.56, starting with equation 17.34 is to be derived.

Concept introduction:

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

q=(2πmkTh2)3/2V

It is used to calculate the state functions like energy, pressure, wavelength etc. of the thermodynamic system. The expressions obtained for state functions using partition functions help to determine the statistical aspect of thermodynamic system.
