Boltzmann Equation Clarification

Postby Frenz Cabison 1B » Sun Jan 28, 2018 5:09 pm

What does the Boltzmann Equation exactly tell us? What do we use it for?

The equation shows how the distribution of molecules, atoms or ions in their various energy levels depend on the temperature of the system.

The Boltzmann Equation tells us that we can find the entropy just from the distributions of atoms/particles and the probability that they will occur. It, however, does depend on temperature.

Can someone explain how it depends on temperature? Since T isn't part of the equation, are there different values of Kb depending on the temperature?
