The two curves show the probabilities of finding an ion channel either open or closed as a function of E/kBT = (E1-E2)/kBT. Think about the way accessible energy states, probability, and temperature work together, examine the figure, and identify the true statements in the list: A. The top curve is the probability of finding the ion channel open B. The top curve is the probability of finding the ion channel closed C. The curves show that the probability of finding the ion channel open is greater at low temperature D. The curves show that the probability of finding the ion channel open is greater at high temperature E. If (E1-E2) is much less than kBT, the relative probability R is approximately 1

B. As the excitation energy gets large at a fixed T, the probability of its being open drops (it's harder to get enough energy thermally to open the channel). Which means that as epsilon grows, the probability of finding the channel closed increases.D. High T means low 1/T so the red curve gets smaller (probability of being closed) at T gets larger.E. The relative probability is just e-ε/kBT, so if epsilon is small, we approximately get e0 = 1.

C. e^-e1/kBT / e^-e2/kBT: The probability of each state being open is proportional to the Boltzmann factor, e-ε/kBT, times the same normalization factor. When you take the ratio, the normalization factor cancels and you just get the ratio of the Boltzmann factors.

Which of the following sets of changes are guaranteed to produce a lower G, thereby making a process/reaction more likely to be spontaneous? A. A negative Δ H B. A positive Δ S C. A negative Δ Hand negative Δ S D. A negative Δ Hand positive Δ S E. A positive Δ Hand negative Δ S F. A positive Δ Hand positive Δ S G. None of these will suffice

You can't say anything about other temperatures.

D (Since , if we know the change in G and H are both positive, if the change in S were positive, we could make the change in G negative by making T higher. But if we don't know the sign of we can't say anything.)

Since channels are either open or closed, it must be the case that popen + pclosed = 1. You can therefore express the absolute probability of finding the channel open as popen/ (popen + pclosed) and work out an explicit expression for it. Which of the expressions below represents the absolute probability of finding the channel open?

D. The normalization factor must be the 1 over the sum of the Boltzmann factors so that when you add up all the probabilities you get 1. Note that the expression for choice B is not the same as D, because the denominator of D is not equal to one.

The figure shows the interaction potential between two molecules (along a particular orientation of the two molecules). The units of the horizontal axis are in nm. Two possible states of the molecule are shown: one is labeled E12​, the other E2​. We are interested in understanding the forces between the molecules, and how stable the binding between the molecules is (i.e. how much energy it takes to completely separate the two molecules). Which of the following statements are correct? (Pick up to 2) -When the molecules are in the state E2, they are more stable than when they are in state E1 -When the molecules are separated by a distance of 7 nm, the force b/t them is attractive -When the molecules are in the state E1, they are more stable than when they are in the state E2 -When the molecules are separated by a distance of 5 nm, the force b/t them is attractive -When the molecules are separated by a distance of 2 nm, the force b/t them is attractive

A 200 g block of copper at a temperature of 55oC is put into an insulated beaker of water at 20oC. The two come to thermal equilibrium at a temperature of about 30oC - much closer to the original temperature of the water than of the copper. (From the macroscopic point of view, the specific heat of water is about 1.0 J/g-oC while the specific heat of copper is only about 0.4 J/g-oC.) However, from the microscopic point of view, you can conclude, - The information given doesn't tell you anything about the number of degrees of freedom in the matter - there are about the same number of degrees of freedom in 200 g of copper as there are in 200 g of water - there are more degrees of freedom in 200 g of copper than in 200 g of water - there are fewer degrees of freedom in 200 g of copper than in 200 g of water

there are fewer degrees of freedom in 200 g of copper than in 200 g of water. (Each degree of freedom is a "bin" for energy. The more degrees of freedom, the more energy is required to raise the temperature (a measure of the average amount of energy per d.o.f.))
