Hello,
The Boltzmann velocity distribution may show the curves for a low (T1) and a high (T2) temperature. The T2 curve is broader and flatter. A flatter curve means: a broad range of speed/KE. This means more micro states, which means a higher entropy S. This explains the increase of S with increasing T. Consent?
The transfer of heat Q increases T of an ideal gas, because the KE increases - The velocity v of the particles increases
Is it correct to state the following:
Q is represented by the average (root of v^2) in the Maxwell Boltzmann Distribution curve at T
S is represented by the width of the Maxwell Boltzmann Distribution curve at T
Regards
