Homework Statement
I am supposed use stat mech to find the particle density in Earth's atmosphere given only the particle mass, and temperature, and the planet's mass I guess. And I don't really know where to begin. Obviously I need to use the grand canonical ensemble but I don't know where to start without knowing the number of particles in the system.
Homework Equations
Boltzmann distribution I guess? n(r) = A*e^(-(βρ^2)/(2m))*e^(-βmgr)
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't know what to do without knowing N
