The quantum states available for gas atoms of energy ? in a cubical box of length L correspond to integer values for each nx, ny and nz, according.
In a three-dimensional Euclidean space with coordinates nx, ny and nz, each unit volume will contain one quantum state.
The total number of quantum states g with energy less than f is equal to the volume of the positive octant of a sphere of radius r = L(8m?i)½/ h.
(a) Show that
g' = (4ΠV(2m∈')3/2) / (3h3)
(b) In a volume of 1 cm3 of helium gas at 300 K and 1 atm pressure, ? is about 10-5 J. Calculate g.
(e) Calculate the number N of helium atoms. (d) Show that g.
