Question

Which of the following statements about the BoltzmannDistribution are true? (Select all statements that
are true).

a. It will describe the fraction of molecules in a given microstatewhen the Gibbs free energy difference between
reactants and products is non-zero.
b. It predicts the distribution of molecules among microstates thatwill minimize the Gibbs standard free energy
of an equilibrated system at a given thermal energy.
c. Distributions that deviate substantially than the Boltzmanndistribution will become more probable as the
number of molecules in a system increases.
d. Increasing the temperature of a system will disfavor evendistribution of molecules among microstates.
e. At an equilibrium temperature of absolute zero, all themolecules will be in a single microstate.

Which of the following statements about chemical potential aretrue? (Circle all statements that are true).
a. The logarithmic dependence of chemical potential on the soluteconcentration comes about as a
consequence of the positional entropy of the solute.
b. Changes in the chemical potential of an ideal solution as afunction of concentration are due solely to
changes in the entropy of the solute.
c. The enthalpy per molecule of solute is independent of itsconcentration in an ideal solution.
d. For the reaction of association of A and B to produce AB, atequilibrium, ?A=?B=?AB.
