Suppose a system of two particles, represented by circles, have the possibility of occupying energy states with 0, 10, or 20 J.

Collectively, the particles must have 20 J of total energy. Are there any other energetically equivalent configurations?

Answer:

Explanation:

The possible energy states for the particles are 0, 10 and 20 J.  

The constraint in the system is that the total energy of the particles must be 20 J.

One given configuration where the total energy is 20 J is if both the particles occupy the 10 J state.

Hence, (10;10) is the given configuration.

Another possibility is if one of the particle is in 0 J state and another is in 20 J state. Hence, the system has a total energy of 0+20 = 20 J.

Hence, the possible configuration can be written as (0;20) or (20;0) which are energetically equivalent to the given configuration. Note that if the circles are indistinguishable, then the configuration (0,20) and (20,0) is the same thing.

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of molecules

Explanation:

According to Avogadro Law,

Equal volume of all the gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of molecules.

This law state that volume and number of moles of gas have direct relation.

When the amount of gas increases its volume will increase and when the amount of gas decreases its volume will decrease.

Mathematical relation:

V ∝ n

V/n = K

K is proportionality constant.

When number of moles change from n₁ to n₂ and volume from V₁ to V₂

expression will be,

V₁/n₁ = K     ,     V₂/n₂ = K

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂
