This lecture covers the derivation and application of the Sackur-Tetrode equation in statistical thermodynamics, focusing on the classical regime and the calculation of the number of accessible states for different molecules. It also discusses the characteristic temperature and the partition functions for diatomic molecules like H2 and Cl2. The lecture concludes with an exploration of symmetry considerations in polyatomic molecules and the calculation of equilibrium constants for chemical reactions.
