Homework Statement
Why at absolute zero does He (three) have a larger molar volume and require a higher pressure to solidify than He(four)?
The Attempt at a Solution
I feel the answer lies in the Pauli exclusion principle, at low temps the ferions are nopt as easily confined as the bosons so they will have a larger molar volume, but i can't explain why this would then require a higher pressure to solidify:
Pv = nRT
where if v is increased surely P must decrease?
