Question

The protein unfolds at a transition temperature of 75 ºC and the standard enthalpy of
transition is 61 kJ mol-1. Calculate the absolute molar entropy (S(353 K)) of the unfolded
protein at 80ºC, if Cp, folded = aT3 below 10K (a = 0.0257 J K-2 mol-1), above 10K Cp, folded
= 5.23 J K-1 mol-1 and Cp, unfolded= 6.28 kJ K-1 mol-1
