3. The two molecules shown below have the same number of carbon atoms. Which do you think will have the larger standard molar entropy? Choose one from the descriptions below. Hint: we did not specifically discuss this in class, but use your knowledge of "disorder" to choose the most sensible answer. You can also do further research on the web. n-hexane iii. iv. V. cyclohexane i. n-hexane, because it has more hydrogen atoms (C6H14) than cyclohexane (C6H12). ii. cyclohexane, because it has fewer hydrogen atoms than n-hexane. They are the same because they have the same number of carbon atoms. n-hexane because it is less rigid than cyclohexane. cyclohexane, because it is more rigid than n-hexane.

Human DNA contains almost twice as much information as is needed to code for all the substances produced in the body. Likewise, the digital data sent from Voyager II contained one redundant bit out of every two bits of information. The Hubble space telescope transmits three redundant bits for every bit of information. How is entropy related to the transmission of information? What do you think is accomplished by having so many redundant bits of information in both DNA and the space probes?
Define the term entropy, and give an example of a sample of matter that has zero entropy. What are the units of entropy? How do they differ from the units of enthalpy?
There is another free energy state function, the Helmholtz free energy (A), defined as A = E — TS. Comparing this to the definition of G, we see that internal energy has replaced enthalpy in the definition. Under what conditions would this free energy tell us whether or not a process is spontaneous?
What is entropy? Why is entropy important?
The deciding factor on why HF is a weak acid and not a strong acid like the other hydrogen halides is entropy. What occurs when HF dissociates in water as compared to the other hydrogen halides?
10.69 If a sample of air were separated into nitrogen and oxygen molecules (ignoring other gases present), what would be the sign of for this process? Explain your answer. The next four questions relate to the following paragraph [Frank L. Lambert, Journal of Chemical Education, 76(10), 1999, 1385]. "The movement of macro objects from one location to another by an external agent involves no change in the objects' physical (thermodynamic) entropy. The agent of movement undergoes a thermodynamic entropy increase in the process."
The molar entropy change for a process is 1.00J/molK. By what percentage has the number of possible distributions changed when going from reactants to products? You will need to use the relationship in equation 3.26.
Consider the following illustration of six molecules of gas in a two-bulbed flask. a. What is the most likely arrangement of molecules? How many microstates are there for this arrangement? b. Determine the probability of finding the gas in its most likely arrangement.
How does the second law of thermodynamics explain a spontaneous change in a system that becomes more ordered when that process is exothermic?
