Molar heat capacity for an ideal monoatomic gas

AI Thread Summary
In the discussed process, a monatomic ideal gas maintains a constant pressure-volume ratio of 1. The molar heat capacity for this gas is determined to be 5R/2. Additionally, the partition function for a two-dimensional monatomic gas is provided, leading to the derivation of the equation of state, heat capacity, and entropy. The calculations involve parameters such as area, particle number, and temperature. Overall, the discussion focuses on thermodynamic properties and statistical mechanics of ideal gases.

Thread 'Entropy and configurations of microstates'

I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it says: Let's say I have a container. And in that container, I have gas particles and they're bouncing around like gas particles tend to do, creating some pressure on the container of a certain volume. And let's say I have n particles. Now, each of these particles could be in x different states. Now, if each of them can be in x different states, how many total...

Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'

Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
