Consider five coin tosses. I would call each of the possible outcomes a microstate (for example, HTTHT, THHHT, HHHTH, TTTTT and so on. H stands for heads and T for tails). Now suppose I define a variable such as X=Total number of heads. For the microstates I have mentioned above, X will take...

Hi. The centrifugal force appears in the frame of reference of the ball( which is a non inertial frame). It never arises in the frame of reference of the ground. If we draw a free body diagram of the ball in the ground frame of reference, then the only forces acting on the ball will be the...

Hi. I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are saying. Could you elaborate on the example?

Hi jsmtaylor23. I think this link would be of some help. http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-79696-8_23#page-1

Well, how about heating the supercooled water from 258K to 273K , freezing it, and then cooling the ice back to 258K?

I think it is Cp,m= (∂H/∂T)p

1.At constant temperature of 258K and constant pressure of 1.000 atm , super cooled liquid water (2.00mol) freezes irreversibly. Find the change in enthalpy(ΔH) by assuming that Cp,m of liquid water and ice are 75.48 KJ/mol and 37.15KJ/mol and are constant. (this problem was from my assignment...
