Chapter 18, Problem 18.7E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of qelect for the given system at 10,000K is to be recalculated. Whether the conclusion about the effect of electronic excited states on qelect changed or not is to be stated. The explanation for the same is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Different linearly independent wavefunctions that have same energy are called degenerate. This is expressed in terms of degeneracy. If two functions are having same energy then they are called doubly degenerate and so on. The electronic partition function is represented as,

qelect=igiei/kT

Where,

gi represents the degeneracy.

i represents the energy of ith microstate.

k represents the Boltzmann constant with value 1.381×1023J/K.

T represents the temperature (K).
