    This student worksheet provides conceptual questions to help understand problems at the end of chapters 5 and 6, which cover classical and quantum statistical distributions and their applications. Students are asked to answer questions in writing to describe the differences between classical and semi-classical gas entropy, why classical and semi-classical approaches give the same results, conditions when diatomic and monoatomic gas equations of state are the same, and why classical and quantum approaches give the same kinetic energy result at high temperatures. Students are also asked to briefly describe conditions for different statistical ensembles and how molecular interactions influence the partition function of an imperfect gas.

    STUDENT WORKSHEET 2

    CLASS ACTIVITY

    In the followings you are asked to complete conceptual questions concerning with
    materials regarding the applications of both classical and quantum distributions.
    Your completed answers to the following questions are used to better understand
    all problems available at the ends of Chapters 5 and 6.

    1. Use your own words to describe what makes the entropy of a semi-classcial gas
    different from that of a classsical gas.

    2. If there is any difference in formulation of the entropy between a semi-classical gas


    and a classical gas, why then both the equation of state and the total internal energy
    derived from the two views give the same results ?
