 How much heat must be added to a system at 298 K for the number of accessible states to increase by a factor 

Answer 1

How much heat must be added to a system at 298 K for the number of accessible states to increase by a factor of 10^6 ?

$Q = kT ln(W)$

where k is constant $= 1.38 \times 10^{-23 }$

Heat

$Q = (1.38 \times 10^{-23}) \times 298 \times ln (10^6) \\ Q = 5.68 \times 10^{-20} \; J \\ Q = 0.3544 \; eV$
