Question 321: Thermodynamics & KTG

Question

The entropy of any system is given by
$$S = {\alpha ^2}\beta \ln \left[ {{{\mu kR} \over {J{\beta ^2}}} + 3} \right]$$ where $$\alpha$$ and $$\beta$$ are the constants. $$\mu$$, J, k and R are no. of moles, mechanical equivalent of heat, Boltzmann constant and gas constant respectively.
[Take $$S = {{dQ} \over T}$$]
Choose the incorrect option from the following :

Accepted Answer

Since, entropy of the system is given by
$$S = {\alpha ^2}\beta \ln \left[ {{{\mu kR} \over {J{\beta ^2}}} + 3} ight]$$ .... (i)
As, $$S = {Q \over {\Delta T}}$$ [given]
$$ \Rightarrow [S] = {{[M{L^2}{T^{ - 2}}]} \over {[K]}}$$ .... (ii)
$$\because$$ Dimensions of Q = [ML
2
T
$$-$$2
]
Dimension of T = [K]
Boltzmann constant, $$k = {{energy} \over T}$$ [$$\because$$ Dimensions of energy = [ML
2
T
$$-$$2
]]
$$ \Rightarrow [k] = {{[M{L^2}{T^{ - 2}}]} \over {[K]}}$$ ..... (iii)
From Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we can write,
$$[S] = [k] = {{[M{L^2}{T^{ - 2}}]} \over {[K]}}$$ ..... (iv)
$$\because$$ Gas constant, $$[R] = {{[Energy]} \over {[nT]}} = {{[M{L^2}{T^{ - 2}}]} \over {[mol\,K]}}$$ .... (v)
and mechanical equivalent of heat
[J] = [M
0
L
0
T
0
] .... (vi)
As, [$$\mu$$kR] = [J$$\beta$$]
2
Using Eqs. (iii), (v) and (vi), we get
$$ \Rightarrow [mol] 	imes {{[M{L^2}{T^{ - 2}}]} \over {[K]}} 	imes {{[M{L^2}{T^{ - 2}}]} \over {[mol\,K]}} = [{\beta ^2}]$$
$$ \Rightarrow [\beta ] = [M{L^2}{T^{ - 2}}{K^{ - 1}}]$$ ..... (vii)
Using Eq. (i), we can write,
$$[{\alpha ^2}] = {{[S]} \over {[\beta ]}} = {{[M{L^2}{T^{ - 2}}{K^{ - 1}}]} \over {[M{L^2}{T^{ - 2}}{K^{ - 1}}]}} \Rightarrow \alpha  = [{M^0}{L^0}{T^0}]$$ .... (viii)
So, from Eqs. (iii) and (viii), we can say that $$\alpha$$ and k have different dimensions.
