Document Summary
Q1a. (12 points) a system at equilibrium has four occupied energy levels, as shown in the diagram below, which also shows the probabilities of finding molecules in three of the four levels. You must show how you work out the answers. (q1a. i) (2 points) what is the probability of finding a molecule in the 4th level? (q1a. ii) (3 points) the energy of the 2nd level is 0. 75 kj mol-1. Your name___________________________ (q1a. v) (2 points) consider two systems, a and b. The partition function of a is greater than that of b. Q1b (8 points) the diagram below shows the 10th row of pascal"s triangle. Assume that the value of kb is 1. 0. (q2a. ii) (2 points) the two kinds of molecules can interconvert. Shown below are microstates corresponding to two states of the system (state a and state b): What is the probability of observing state a relative to the probability of observing.
