4.3 Sackur-Tetrode Equation.Pdf Sackur-Tetrode equation Masatsugu Sei Suzuki Department of Physics, SUNY at Binghamton (Date: October, 02, 2017) The Sackur-Tetrode equation is important historically, because it suggests quantization (and a value for Planck’s constant h) based solely on experimental work in thermodynamics. The result provides a basis for quantum theory that is independent of Planck’s first conception of it, which he developed in the theory of blackbody radiation, and from Einstein’s conception of quantization based on the photoelectric effect. The Sackur–Tetrode equation is an expression for the entropy of a monatomic classical ideal gas which incorporates quantum considerations which give a more detailed description of its regime of validity. The Sackur–Tetrode equation is named for Hugo Martin Tetrode (1895– 1931) and Otto Sackur (1880–1914), who developed it independently as a solution of Boltzmann's gas statistics and entropy equations, at about the same time in 1912. 1.

N particle system (identical case) The difficulty encountered in the Gibbs paradox is due to the treatment of the gas molecules as individually distinguishable. The interchanging positions of two identical molecules would lead to a physically distinct state of the gas. This is not true. In fact, if we treat the gas by quantum mechanics, the molecules would have to be regarded as completely indistinguishable. The distinguishability of the molecules must be taken into account explicitly in calculating the partition function. This can be done by dividing the classical partition function by the permutation N!. 1 Z ( ) Z ( ) N C N!

Gibbs paradox We need to use the Sackur–Tetrode equation for the identical gases V 3 S Nk B[ln ln( T ) C] N 2 where C is a constant, and N nN A . The entropy of the system indeed becomes a true extensive quantity. Thus the very root of the trouble has been eliminated by the recipe of Gibbs.

So we have Si S f . The Gibbs paradox is no longer a paradox. No entropy changes 4. Comment by Huang Gibbs resolved the paradox in an empirical fashion by postulating that we have made an error in calculating the partition function. Gibbs assumed that correct answer is N! times smaller than N we thought it was. It is not possible to understand classically why we must divide ZC1 by N! to obtain the correct counting of states. The reason is inherently indistinguishable in the following sense. A state of the gas is described by an N-particle wave function, which is either symmetric or antisymmetric with respect to the interchange of any two particles. A permutation of the particles can at most change the wave function by a sig, and it does not produce a new N state of the system, From this fact it seems reasonable that we should divide ZC1 by N!. 5.

In particular the Sackur-Tetrode equation for the entropy of the ideal gas is also valid in the case of an expanding universe, provided that the constant value that represents the current entropy of the universe is appropriately chosen.

  • Planck's Quantum Theory of Ideal
    Pursuing an Idea: Planck’s Quantum Theory of Ideal Gas ∗ Massimiliano Badino† 1 Prelude: One Hundred Years of ‘Quantitude’ Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Erwin Planck was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover the quantum. It was indeed in a day at the beginning of the last century, during a walk in the Grunewald Forest, that Max Planck in- formed his youngest son that his recent discovery was the greatest since the time of Newton. After that day, physics was never the same again. From the mysterious realm of the interac- tion between matter and radiation, the quantum spread out both in the theory of radiation and in the theory of matter and eventually changed our picture of the physical world. Planck played a foremost role in this revolution till the mid-1920 and especially his work on the ap- plication of quantum hypothesis to the ideal gas was instrumental in setting the stage for quantum mechanics. In this paper I will give a cursory outline of this work and, centering on the argumen- tative structure, I will argue that Planck’s theory of gas was framed according to a theoretical strategy he had already adopted in his previous work on radiation theory. The thrust of this strategy consists in focussing on the general features of the system and leaving aside spe- cific assumptions on the micro-processes. Throughout the years Planck reconfigured and reorganized his arguments and the great flexibility of his theoretical strategy allowed him to maintain a consistent outlook on the problem.

We review the work and life of Otto Stern who developed the molecular beam technique and with its aid laid the foundations of experimental atomic physics. Among the key results of his research are: the experimental determination of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of molecular velocities (1920), experimental demonstration of space quantization of angular momentum (1922), diffraction of matter waves comprised of atoms and molecules by crystals (1931) and the determination of the magnetic dipole moments of the proton and deuteron (1933). 1 Introduction Short lists of the pioneers of quantum mechanics featured in textbooks and historical accounts alike typically include the names of Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Arnold Sommerfeld, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, Paul Dirac, Max Born, and Wolfgang Pauli on the theory side, and of Konrad Röntgen, Ernest Rutherford, Max von Laue, Arthur Compton, and James Franck on the experimental side. However, the records in the Archive of the Nobel Foundation as well as scientific correspondence, oral-history accounts and scientometric evidence suggest that at least one more name should be added to the list: that of the “experimenting theorist” Otto Stern.

  • On the 100Th Anniversary of the Sackur-Tetrode Equation
    UWThPh-2011-34 On the 100th anniversary of the Sackur–Tetrode equation W. Grimus∗ University of Vienna, Faculty of Physics Boltzmanngasse 5, A–1090 Vienna, Austria 23 January 2013 Abstract In 1912, Otto Sackur and Hugo Tetrode independently put forward an equation for the absolute entropy of a monoatomic ideal gas and published it in “Annalen der Physik.” The grand achievement in the derivation of this equation was the discretization of phase space for massive particles, expressed as δqδp = h, where q and p are conjugate variables and h is Planck’s constant. Due to the dependence of the absolute entropy on Planck’s constant, Sackur and Tetrode were able to devise a test of their equation by applying it to the monoatomic vapor of mercury; from the satisfactory numerical comparison of h obtained from thermodynamic data on mercury with Planck’s value from black-body radiation, they inferred the correctness of their equation. In this review we highlight this almost forgotten episode of physics, discuss the arguments leading to the derivation of the Sackur–Tetrode equation and outline the method how this equation was tested with thermodynamic data. arXiv:1112.3748v2 [physics.hist-ph] 23 Jan 2013 PACS: 05.70.-a, 51.30.+i ∗E-mail: [email protected] 1 1 Introduction The formula for the absolute entropy of a monoatomic ideal gas is named after Otto Sackur and Hugo Tetrode who independently derived it in 1912 [1, 2, 3].

  • A Equação De Sackur Tetrode Ou Como a Entropia Se Encontrou Com
    A equação de Sackur-Tetrode ou como a entropia se encontrou com a mecânica quântica 3=2 5=2 2 3=2 5=2 S = Nk ln M T =P + ln 2=NAvh k + 5=2 n h i o No início do século XX, cientistas ilustres lutavam para entender mais profundamente o conceito de entropia. Esse era o conceito central da toda poderosa “segunda lei da termodinâmica”, que já tinha sido utilizada para estabelecer uma escala absoluta de temperaturas, mas que ainda demandava boa dose de esclarecimento. Uma questão inquietante permanecia sem resposta. Será que o valor ab- soluto da entropia poderia ser determinado? Ou será que a entropia somente poderia ser determinada a menos de uma constante aditiva? Os cientistas daquela época passaram a prestar maior atenção às ideias de Ludwig Boltzmann. O extenso trabalho de Boltzmann nesse problema pode ser resumido pela inscrição no seu túmulo, no cemitério central de Viena, S = k ln W: Essa equação expressa a entropia S em termos do logaritmo do número W de estados disponíveis para o movimento, multiplicado pelo constante k, batizada mais tarde em homenagem a Boltzmann. No entanto, de acordo com a física clássica, não há limite para a proximidade dos estados mecânicos no espaço de fase. Portanto, não há limite para o número de estados, e nem seria possível enumerá-los. Como é então que seria possível obter um valor de W bem de…nido? Como é que obteríamos a constante aditiva da entropia? A resposta a essas questões foi dada em dois artigos separados, que apare- ceram nos Annalen der Physik, principal revista alemã de física.

  • The Gibbs Paradox: Early History and Solutions
    entropy Article The Gibbs Paradox: Early History and Solutions Olivier Darrigol UMR SPHere, CNRS, Université Denis Diderot, 75013 Paris, France; [email protected] Received: 9 April 2018; Accepted: 28 May 2018; Published: 6 June 2018 Abstract: This article is a detailed history of the Gibbs paradox, with philosophical morals. It purports to explain the origins of the paradox, to describe and criticize solutions of the paradox from the early times to the present, to use the history of statistical mechanics as a reservoir of ideas for clarifying foundations and removing prejudices, and to relate the paradox to broad misunderstandings of the nature of physical theory. Keywords: Gibbs paradox; mixing; entropy; irreversibility; thermochemistry 1. Introduction The history of thermodynamics has three famous “paradoxes”: Josiah Willard Gibbs’s mixing paradox of 1876, Josef Loschmidt reversibility paradox of the same year, and Ernst Zermelo’s recurrence paradox of 1896. The second and third revealed contradictions between the law of entropy increase and the properties of the underlying molecular dynamics. They prompted Ludwig Boltzmann to deepen the statistical understanding of thermodynamic irreversibility. The Gibbs paradox—first called a paradox by Pierre Duhem in 1892—denounced a violation of the continuity principle: the mixing entropy of two gases (to be defined in a moment) has the same finite value no matter how small the difference between the two gases, even though common sense requires the mixing entropy to vanish for identical gases (you do not really mix two identical substances). Although this paradox originally belonged to purely macroscopic thermodynamics, Gibbs perceived kinetic-molecular implications and James Clerk Maxwell promptly followed him in this direction.
