A judge immediately scheduled his execution for December. Atkins, of course, is the convicted murderer whose case three years earlier had led the U.S. Supreme Court, in a landmark ruling, to ...

Atkins' Physical Chemistry

In this chapter we apply the concepts of statistical thermodynamics to the calculation of chemically significant quantities. First, we establish the relations between thermodynamic functions and partition functions. Next, we show that the molecular partition function can be factorized into contributions from each mode of motion and establish the formulas for the partition functions for translat...
