How Do Conduction Electrons Affect the Molar Entropy of a Metal?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding the contribution of conduction electrons to the molar entropy of a metal, particularly in relation to the electronic coefficient of specific heat. Participants express confusion about the relevant theories and equations that connect conduction electrons to molar entropy. The equation for specific heat, Cv = BT^3 + AT, is mentioned, but the relationship to molar entropy remains unclear. There is a suggestion that the forum is not a substitute for textbooks, emphasizing the need for focused questions. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexity of linking conduction electrons to molar entropy in metals.

Homework Statement


[/B]
What is the contribution of the conduction electrons in the molar entropy of a metal with
electronic coefficient of specific heat? I can't figure out how to comprehend this, which relation/theory might lead to this?
and How this answer is relevant to the point of molar Entropy?

Homework Equations


Cv = BT^3 + AT

The Attempt at a Solution


I don't know which relation/theory might lead to this?

Well, where are you in your curriculum ? PF is not a good replacement for a textbook, but more for specific focused questions...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
