Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The energy A or G having the higher absolute value is to be predicted on the basis of statistical thermodynamic definitions.

Concept introduction:

Gibbs free energy gives the value of the maximum reversible amount of work done by system at a condition of constant temperature and pressure. It is a state function.

Helmholtz energy gives the value of the maximum amount of work done by system at a condition of constant volume. It is a state function.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The energy E or G having the higher absolute value is to predicted on the basis of statistical thermodynamic definitions and the reason for the same is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Internal energy is defined as the total energy contained in a system. Its absolute value cannot be measured directly. It is a state function.

Gibbs free energy gives the value of the maximum reversible amount of work done by system at a condition of constant temperature and pressure. It is a state function.

At temperature T, the internal energy of 1mol rigid diatomic molecules is =......
We discussed in class (several times) how the Boltzmann distribution can be used to relate the relative populations of two states differing in energy by AU. Suppose you are given a vial containing a solution of glucose in water (don't ask why this would happen). For the purpose of this question, glucose exists in one of two conformations-"chair" or "boat"-with an energy difference (AU) of 25.11 kJ mol1 between them. 1. What would be the proportion of molecules in the "boat" conformation at 310K? 2. Thinking back to our discussion of the individual sources of energy that go into the potential energy calculation for a molecule (e.g. Upond Uangle, Uelectrostatic. etc), give a plausible explanation of why the "boat" conformation is less stable.
