(a) Assume there are N+ links of 0◦ angle and N− of 180◦ . For fix
N and length 2m the configuration of a molecule is completely
determined, with the number N+ and N− determined by N+ +
N− = N and |N+ − N− | = 2m. Then N+ = (N/2) ± m and
N− = (N/2) ∓ m. The number of arrangements is N !/(N+ !N− !).
Thus
2(N !)
g(N, m) = N .

(b) Put m with L/(2d) we have

3. Denote two people as A and B. Let the initial number of virus carried
by A be N0 . We hope to find NA (t) and NB (t). We have

For the case when N0 6= N the entropy can only grow.

of N independent standing waves with frequencies,

where k are equidistant wave numbers separated by intervals, and l =
N d is the total length of the chain.
Each mode corresponds to a simple harmonic oscillator, with the heat

6. (a) For gas particles in the volume, the single particle partition func-
tion is
Q1g (V, T ) = (V /h3 )(2πmkB T )3/2 ≡ V f (T ).
For absorbed particles, let A = L2s . Then

Model the gas particles in the volume and absorbed gas particles
separately using the grand canonical ensemble, we have

to chemical potential through Ng = zg ∂ ln Qs /∂zs = zg V f (T ) we
have
Qg = eP V /kB T .
Similarly we have Ns = zs Ag(T ) and N = Ns + Ng . Then
