Using the same procedure to determine the fundamental equation of chemical thermodynamics (dG = –SdT + VdP) from the Gibbs free energy of a system (G = H – TS), can you please explain how to find the analogous fundamental equation for (A=U-TS)?  Also, can you please handwrite the formula down instead of typing? I get confused with typed formulas sometime.
Consider a one-dimensional gas consisting of N = 5 particles each of which has the same speed v, but can move in one of two directions with equal probability. The velocity of each particle is independent. What is the probability that all particles are moving in the same direction?
(i) What is the most likely speed for a molecule of mass 'm' at room temperature T in a 3D space? (ii) What is the most likely speed for a molecule of mass 'm' at room temperature T in a 2D space? (iii) What are the physical origins of the differences between the most likely speed in 3D and in 2D? (iv) Why two identical ideal gas molecules in a room kept at constant temperature may move at different speeds?
