μ(z) = -kT*ln[V/N * (2πmkT/h2)3/2 ] +mgz

I also never had n, so I assumed you hold is constant, which would still give me the same result, since all other variables are held constant. Unless there's something else I'm missing.

wouldn't n be the same for both sides of the ideal gas law, which would lead them to cancel out?

OK, I think I figured it out. I got it to be Tf=600K so it becomes 5/2*R*Ln(600K/300K)

Homework Statement Consider a monatomic ideal gas that lives at a height z above sea level, so each molecule has potential energy mgz in addition to its kinetic energy.(a) Show that the chemical potential is the same as if the gas were at sea level, plus an additional term mgz:μ(z) = -kT ln...

Yeah, sorry; the final T is unknown. So do I write it as Ln[Tf/Ti]? where Tf= 2PVi/Nk ? how do I solve for N?

Homework Statement A liter of air, initially at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, is heated at constant pressure until it doubles in volume. Calculate the increase in its entropy during this process. so Ti= 300K, Volume which is 2Vi=Vf; Pressure is constant Homework Equations ΔS...
