Homework Statement

The equilibrium vapor pressures of liquid gallium areT(K) 1302 1427 1623
p(torr) 0.01 0.1 1.0 a-Calculate the enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy changes for the process
b-Calculate the standard enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy changes for the vapozation of liquid gallium at 1427 K. Under standard conditions the pressure of the gallium is 1 bar. Will liquid gallium 1427 K spontaneously form vapor with a pressu of 1 bar?

<br /> Ga(l) \rightarrow Ga(g, 0.1 torr)<br />

at 1427 K.

Heres what I derived so far

<br /> dG=Vdp<br /> dG=\frac{RT}{p}dp<br /> \Delta G=RTln\frac{p_2}{p_1}<br />

I'm not sure how to get p_1 to solve for \Delta G

I have solved this problem. It was quite simple actually.
If anyone wants me to post the solution, just let me know.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
