Chapter 25, Problem 25.52QP

Assume the energy of hydrogen bonds per base pair to be 10 kJ/mol. Given two complementary strands of DNA containing 10 base pairs each, estimate the ratio of two separate strands to hydrogen-bonded double helix in solution at 300 K. The ratio for a single base pair is given by the formula exp(−ΔE/RT), where ΔE is the energy of hydrogen bond per base pair, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in kelvins.

The approximation of calculating the partition function by integration instead of the summation of all the energy terms can only be done if the separation of the energy levels is much smaller than the product kT. Explain why.
Explain the meaning of: the electron partition function is equal to the degeneracy of the ground state.
