ENTROPY, MICROSTATES, AND PROBABILITY
Overview
Expansion of a gas at the molecular level is explained in terms of particle motion and
probability.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the activity I am able to:
1. Explain a spontaneous process - such as air rushing in to an evacuated chamber -
using particle motion at the molecular level;
2. Distinguish between spontaneous and non-spontaneous processes, and connect
these to a probabilistic description of matter;
3. Explain how a large number of microstates can produce the same macro-state;
4. Use particle motion and probability to explain heat transfer.

- Phenomenon a new "diet" Your friend Trent is excited about physics because they have discovered they can eat all the shave ice they want without gaining any weight. He says, "I put just the right amount of flavored syrup on the ice such that I don't gain any net energy in the process." You, being a PHYS 2A student, are skeptical and decide to check it out for yourself. You'll need to model "eating" the shave ice. All the information you need to answer this question can be found here, on the Maybe Useful Information page. The Big Question you are trying to answer is: Do you agree or disagree with Trent's claim: "I put just the right amount of flavored syrup on the ice such that I don't gain any net energy in the process."

- Constants Learning Goal: Part D To understand the meaning and applications of the second law of thermodynamics, to understand the meaning of entropy, and perform some basic calculations involving entropy changes. An object at 20° C absorbs 25.0 J of heat. What is the change in entropy AS of the object? Express your answer numerically in joules per kelvin. The first law of thermodynamics (which states that energy is conserved) does not specify the direction in which thermodynamic processes in nature can spontaneously occur. For example, imagine an object initially at rest suddenly taking off along a rough horizontal surface and speeding up (gaining kinetic energy) while cooling down (losing thermal energy). Although such a process would not violate conservation of energy, it is, of course, impossible and could never take place spontaneously. Hν ΑΣφ ?
