(a)
Interpretation:
The number of arrangement for the distribution of two quanta of energy among three atoms has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The Bose-Einstein Statistics states that the particles are indistinguishable and the unknown number of particles are occupied in the given energy state. The particles having the integral spin obey this statistics such as hydrogen, deuterium, nitrogen, and photons. The special name for the particles that obey the Bose-Einstein Statistics is bosons.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of arrangement for the distribution of two quanta of energy among six atoms has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Same as part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The direction in which the quanta of energy displace has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Same as part (a).

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Define the following terms: potential energy, kinetic energy, path-dependent function, state function, system, surroundings.arrow_forwardDescribe the interconversions of potential and kinetic energy in a moving pendulum. A moving pendulum eventually comes to rest. Has the energy been lost? If not, what has happened to it?arrow_forward9.41 Under what conditions does the enthalpy change equal the heat of a process?arrow_forward
- Is the following reaction the appropriate one to use in determining the enthalpy of formation of methane, CH4(g)? Why or why not? C(g)+4H(g)CH4(g)arrow_forward• define state functions and explain their importance.arrow_forwardUnder what circumstances is the heat of a process equal to the enthalpy change for the process?arrow_forward
- Niagara Falls has a height of 167 ft (American Falls). What is the potential energy in joules of 1.00 lb of water at the top of the falls if we take water at the bottom to have a potential energy of zero? What would be the speed of this water at the bottom of the falls if we neglect friction during the descent of the water?arrow_forwardThe first step in the preparation of lead from its ore (galena, PbS) consists of roasting the ore. PbS(s)+32O2(g)SO2(g)+PbO(s) Calculate the standard enthalpy change for this reaction, using enthalpies of formation (see Appendix C).arrow_forwardYou discover that you cannot carry out a particular reaction for which you would like the enthalpy change. Does this mean that you will be unable to obtain this enthalpy change? Explain.arrow_forward
