The three lowest energy levels of a hydrogen atom are -13.6 eV, -3.4 eV, and -1.5 eV. Assume that there is only one way to occupy any one of these levels. Calculate the relative probability that a hydrogen atom in thermal equilibrium in a star, at temperature T = 9493 K, is in its first excited state (at -3.4 eV) relative to its ground state (at -13.6 eV). Write your answer in exponential form. Recall that Boltzmann's constant can be written as 8.617 x 10-5 eV K-1

Suppose there are two identical gas cylinders. One contains the monatomic gas krypton (Kr), and the other contains an equal mass of the monatomic gas radon (Rn). The pressures in the cylinders are the same, but the temperatures are different. Determine the ratio KEr /KERN of the average kinetic energy of an atom of krypton to the average kinetic energy of an atom of radon. The answer should be a value.

The net potential energy EN between two adjacent ions is sometimes represented by the expression C ; - - - + Dexp(-6) (2.18) r EN in which r is the interionic separation and C, D, and p are constants whose values depend on the specific material.

Differentiate EN with respect to r and set the resulting expression equal to zero. 2. Solve for C in terms of D, p, and ro.
4. Consider a binary alloy of A atoms and B atoms that can exist in a solid phase or a liquid phase. This alloy can also exist in TWO DIFFERENT PHASES SIMULTANEOUSLY: solid and liquid. The system is composed of one mole of atoms, some of which are A atoms and some of which are B atoms. Take GA and GB as the molar Gibbs free energy of pure A and pure B respectively. XA and XB are the molar fractions of A and B atoms respectively. The atoms crystallize in identical crystal structures when they are solid. (a) The starting conditions are such that a partition sits between the A atoms and B atoms so they do NOT mix. (i) Write an expression for the molar Gibbs free energy for the combination of pure components. (ii) Draw schematically how the molar Gibbs free energy of the combination of pure components varies with alloy composition.
