This theorem was applied to electron emission from a metal surface as an improvement over the Richardson equation. One equation derived from it relates the pressure of a system and the proportion of ionized molecules and is called the Saha equation. Its prediction decreases without bound as temperature becomes sufficiently low, since it holds only when volume is much greater than particle number times the cube of the thermal wavelength. Rearranged to give energy, its first derivative becomes the traditional expression for internal energy. That rearrangement suggests that energy is proportional to the negative two-thirds power of the volume, and in general it allows for energy to be expressed as a function of volume and entropy alone. Its namesake constant is its value at one Kelvin, one amu, and one atmosphere. For 10 points, name this doubly eponymous equation that gives the exact entropy of a monatomic ideal gas.
