Use the Boltzmann formula to calculate the entropy at T = 0 of 1.00 mol chlorobenzene,C₆H₅Cl,where each molecule can be oriented in any of six ways. A)0 J.K^-1; at T = 0,there is no randomness. B)(-15 J.K^-1) C)(-30 J.K^-1) D)+30 J.K^-1 E)+15 J.K^-1

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At T = 0, the entropy is calculated using S = k * ln(W), where W is the number of orientations. For 1 mol, S = R * ln(6), which is approximately +15 J.K^-1.
