8. You have discovered a new polymer. A monomer is shown below. To better understand its behavior you calculate its theoretical entropy. With careful measurements you find that it can be in 3 positions around the 1st bond in the chain, 2 around the 2nd bond, 1 around the 3rd bond and 3 around the 4th bond. Further, the ring can be in 4 different positions. What is the entropy in units of KB? I

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?
During polymerization, the system usually becomes more ordered as monomers link together. Could an endothermic polymerization reaction ever occur spontaneously? Explain.
For a liquid, which would you expect to be larger, Sfusion or Sevaporation? Why?
A reaction has H298=100 kj/mol and S298=250 J/mol K. Is the reaction spontaneous at room temperature? If not, under what temperature conditions will it become spontaneous?
How does the second law of thermodynamics explain a spontaneous change in a system that becomes more ordered when that process is exothermic?
When most biological enzymes are heated, they lose their catalytic activity. This process is called denaturing. The change original enzyme new form that occurs on heating is endothermic and spontaneous. Is the structure of the original enzyme or its new form more ordered (has the smaller positional probability)? Explain.
For ammonia (NH3), the enthalpy of fusion is 5.65 kJ/mol and the entropy of fusion is 28.9 J/K mol. a. Will NH3(s) spontaneously melt at 200. K? b. What is the approximate melting point of ammonia?
What is entropy? Why is entropy important?
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?
