Dear Justin,
Thanks for your explanation. I am sorry to bother you again. Like you
said: "a mole of a given species in the given configuration would have
this energy in kJ". This is absolutely clear but actually I think
increasing the total energy with system size contradict this statement
unless values given by g_energy are in KJ/system. If there are more
interactions in a bigger system, as you said eventually values refer to
mole number of particles (regardless of number of particles). If there
are half Na (avogardo) particles, finally energy is multiplied by 2 to
get KJ/mole and if there are 10*Na, g_energy divides total energy by 10.
Please enlightem me on this issue. Many thanks
The proper interpretation is related to what I said earlier. The value of
energy in kJ/mol for your system would not be "kJ/system" but rather "kJ per
mole of that particular system in that particular configuration" In a way your
interpretation might be right, but I was hoping to use the microscopic example
as a way to provide the underlying rationale.
