Questions and Answers

What is the equation for entropy in thermodynamics?

The equation for entropy in thermodynamics is $S = k_{B} \ln \Omega$, where $k_{B}$ is the Boltzmann constant, and $\Omega$ denotes the volume of macrostate in the phase space or otherwise called thermodynamic probability.

What is the first law of thermodynamics for quasi-static and reversible processes?

The first law of thermodynamics for quasi-static and reversible processes is $dU = \delta Q - \delta W$, where $\delta Q$ is the heat supplied to the system and $\delta W$ is the work done by the system.

What is the equation for entropy change in reversible processes?

The equation for entropy change in reversible processes is $dS = \frac{\delta Q}{T}$.

What are the useful results from the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution for an ideal gas?

What distinguishes matter in the solid state from matter in the liquid state?

<p>Matter in the solid state maintains a fixed volume and shape, with component particles close together and fixed into place, while matter in the liquid state maintains a fixed volume but has a variable shape that adapts to fit its container, with particles still close together but able to move freely</p> Signup and view all the answers

Describe the properties of matter in the gaseous state.

What characterizes matter in the plasma state?

<p>Matter in the plasma state has variable volume and shape, and contains neutral atoms as well as a significant number of ions and electrons, both of which can move around freely</p> Signup and view all the answers
