Q104 · CSIR-NET Chemistry, December 2014

Paper: CSIR-NET December 2014 · Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Statistical Thermodynamics · Topic: Partition Functions · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium

When $\mathrm{T} \rightarrow \infty$, value of the single-particle partition function will be (given : degeneracy of level $\mathrm{j}=\mathrm{gj}$ ) :
(a)1
(b)$\mathrm{g}_{0}$
(c)$\Sigma_{\mathrm{jgj}}$
(d)$1 / \Sigma_{\text {jgj }}$
Answer
Answer: C ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
As T → ∞ every Boltzmann factor → 1, so q → Σg_j (c).
