A hypothetical speed distribution of gas molecules is defined as follows: P(v) = 0 for 0≤v < vo P(v) = 0.21 for vo ≤ v << 2vo P(v) = 0 for 2v0 < v where P(v) is the probability distribution as a function of speed, v. a) Use the normalisation condition to find the value of v. b) What percentage of the gas molecules has its speed between vo and/vo? c) What percentage of the gas molecules has its speed between 0 and 2 ?
The partition funetion for the ensemble characterized by constant V, E, and G = µÑ is given to a very good approximation by ø(V, E, µN)=Q(N,V,E)eBHN, where G = µN is the Gibbs energy (µ is the chemical potential and N is the average number of particles).

Suppose that at some initial time all the molecules in a container have the same translational energy, 2.0x10-14 ergs. As time passes, the motion becomes chaotic, and the energies finally are distributed in a Maxwellian way. a) Compute the final temperature of the system. b) What fraction of the molecules finally have the energies in the range between 1.98x10-14 and 2.02x10-14 ergs? (Hint: Since the range of energies in part (b) is small, the differential form of the Maxwell distribution may be used.]
