### Boltzmann Formula

Will there be any problems on the midterm that requires us to use the Boltzmann formula and to know how to calculate for systems with different numbers of microstates?

### Re: Boltzmann Formula

Since it is listed on the learning outcomes outlines and some of the problems assigned include this topic, I would definitely try to make sure to know how to use it and how to solve problems that involve it.

### Re: Boltzmann Formula

Yes! S=kBlnW, and W= degeneracy aka (# of orientations/positions)^(# of atoms/ molecules).
