Consider 60 particles at constant temperature T occupying 4 equally spaced energy states with the energy splitting of 125.2589 cm-1, so that for the configuration A there are 31 particles at the state E0, 17 at the state E1, 9 at the state E2 and 3 at the state E3, while for the configuration B there are 32 particles at the state E0, 16 at the state E1, 8 at the state E2 and 4 at the state E3. Assuming the Boltzmann distribution and using the Boltzmann constant k=0.69504 cm-1/K, the temperature of sample [X] is [X1] K, independent on the occupation numbers used for these calculations. In contrast, the temperature of the sample [Y] varies with the ratio of the occupation numbers, so that a3/a0 provides T= [Y1] K, a2/a0 provides T= [Y2] K, and a1/a0 provides T= [Y3] K, which means that it does not follow the Boltzmann probability distribution. Round all your answers up to 3 significant figures.
