Calculating entropy change using the Boltzmann hypothesis DENN A chlorine (Cl) and bromine (Br) atom are adsorbed on a small patch of surface (see sketch at right). This patch is known to contain 16 possible adsorption sites. The Cl and bromine (Br) atoms have enough energy to move from site to site, so they could be on any two of them. Suppose the Br atom desorbs from the surface and drifts away. Calculate the change in entropy. One way a Cl and Br atom might be adsorbed on a surface with 16 sites. Round your answer to 2 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol. x10 ? Check Explanation Priva Terms of Use 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. All Rights Reserved.

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?
Limestone is predominantly CaCO3, which can undergo the reaction CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g). We know from experience that this reaction is not spontaneous, yet S for the reaction is positive. How can the second law of thermodynamics explain that this reaction is not spontaneous?
In the thermodynamic definition of a spontaneous process, why is it important that the phrase “continuous intervention” be used rather than just “intervention?”
During polymerization, the system usually becomes more ordered as monomers link together. Could an endothermic polymerization reaction ever occur spontaneously? Explain.
Some games include dice with more than six sides. If you roll two eight-sided dice, with faces numbered one through eight, what is the probability of rolling two eights? What is the most probable roll?
With regard to exercise 2.50, how accurate do you think your answer is, and why?
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?
