Boltzmann Equation

[Jina Kwon]

What does the boltmann equation account for? Is it related to resonance structure?

[Tyler Angtuaco 1G]

If you are referring to S = kB*ln(W), it is used to calculate residual entropy.

[Anika Chakrabarti 1A]

It is used to calculate entropy if you know the number of ways particles can be arranged while still having the same energy (residual entropy).

[Caitlyn Tran 2E]

The Boltzmann equation calculates residual entropy, or in other words, the entropy of molecules purely based on their position/arrangement since we are assuming that the temperature is 0 K.

[Sartaj Bal 1J]

The Boltzmann equation is used to represent the relationship between degeneracy, w, and entropy. Degeneracy is the number of ways of achieving a given energy state. The Boltzmann equation also includes the Boltzmann constant which is 1.381*10^-23 J*K^-1.

[Jacob Motawakel]

The Boltzman equation is used to find residual entropy .

[Callum Guo 1H]

You use it to find residual energy. Its useful if you have the number of particles and the amount of states it can be in

Can we calculate degeneracy? If so how?

The Boltzmann equation is used to represent the relationship between degeneracy, w, and entropy. Degeneracy is the number of ways of achieving a given energy state. The Boltzmann equation also includes the Boltzmann constant which is 1.381*10^-23 J*K^-1.

Can we calculate degeneracy? If so how?

Degeneracy is the number of ways of achieving a given energy state and is represented by W. The equation for total degeneracy is Wtotal= W1 x W2.

[Daria MacAuslan 1H]

This equation is a way of calculating the entropy of a system of molecules entirely based on their position and the number of ways they can be arranged
