9.1. Consider the results for ideal gases derived from quantum mechanics. Write an
expression for the function s(T, v) that includes the parameter A(T).
(a) Show that the behavior of the entropy as T0 is unrealistic in a quantum
sense. What approximation in the derivation is responsible for this behavior?
(b) The Sackur-Tetrode equation is valid when the thermal de Broglie wave-
length is much less than the average molecular separation distance, A(T) <
(V/N)13, which is generally the case at high temperatures. Calculate the
temperature at which this inequality is first violated for an ideal gas at
atmospheric pressure and with a mass of 6.6 × 10-26 kg/molecule (which is
typical of argon).

The intensities of spectroscopic transitions between the vibrational states of a molecule are proportional to the square of the integral ∫ψv′xψvdx over all space. Use the relations between Hermite polynomials given in Table 7E.1 to show that the only permitted transitions are those for which v′ = v ± 1 and evaluate the integral in these cases.
Consider a discrete random variable X with 2n+1 symbols xi, i = 1, 2, …, 2n+1. Determine the upper and lower bounds on the entropy when

(b) p(x1)=1/2
