    The document is a test paper for a Statistical Mechanics course containing 4 questions: 1) Calculate the entropy of mixing when a partition dividing an ideal gas into two parts at different temperatures is removed. 2) Calculate the total volume in phase space enclosed by a constant total energy surface and container volume for an ideal gas. 3) Derive an expression for the equation of state considering only volume dependence of entropy for a real gas of spherical molecules. 4) Explain whether the relation between N particle and single particle partition functions holds for a real gas and significance of N! factor.

    1. A container of volume V, containing an ideal monatomic gas, is divided into two equal
    parts, by a partition, which does not allow exchange of energy or molecules between the
    two sides of the partition. Initially, there are equal numbers (N/2) of molecules on either
    side of the partition, but the temperature on one side is T 1, while the temperature on the
    other side is T2. Calculate the entropy of mixing if the partition is now removed. Assume
    that the molecules are indistinguishable.
    (15)
    2. N molecules of an ideal gas are in a three-dimensional container of volume V. Let the
    total energy of the gas be a constant equal to Eo. Calculate the total volume in phase space
    enclosed by this constant energy surface and by the container of volume V.(10)
    3. Consider a container of volume V which has N molecules of a real gas. Each molecule
    can be considered to be a sphere of volume V o. Considering only the volume dependence
    of entropy for this gas, derive an expression for the equation of state for this gas. (20)

    N!

    4. (a) Will the relation,


    , where QN and Q1 are respectively, the N particle and
    single partition function, hold for a real gas? Explain.
    (b) What is the significance of the factor N! in the expression for the N particle partition
    function given in part (a) above?
