Assume you have no knowledge about the microscopic information, all you know about the system of pure material is it's equation of state and number of particles. Why can't we get Cv=(∂U/∂T)V from here(if this is wrong how do we solve it?)? Why can we obtained some other quantities just from...
I just did exercise 1.22 in Modern Quantum Chemistry by Szabo and Ostlund. This is a practice problem about linear variational method.

Question: The Schrodinger equation(in atomic units) for a hydrogen atom...
In the prove of the Schrodinger equation preserves the normalization I don't understand the step
from
∂ψ/∂t=ih/2m ∂2ψ/∂x2- i/h Vψ
to
∂ψ*/∂t=-ih/2m ∂2ψ/∂x2+ i/h Vψ* (h represents h bar)
the book says "taking complex conjugate equation" but I don't see how.
Thanks in advance.
