CHEM 1A Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Boltzmann Constant, European Route E6
Document Summary
Relates entropy of a substance to the number of arrangements of molecules that result the number of ways that the atoms or molecules in the sample can be arranged with the same total in the same energy. K - i , microstate : refers to each arrangement of the molecules in a sample at different state statistical entropy : the entropy calculated from the boltzmann constant when w = i. , meaning only one way to achieve the energy , and thus zero disorder. System has zero entropy ( in 1=0 ) t o : orientation. N : total number of molecules in the system. How many orientations can each molecule adopt shape of molecule can predict how many orientations. I mo l of e = residual entropy : the entropy of a sample at t - o arising from positional disorder serving at that temperature.
