Chapter 4.3, Problem 28P
Imagine that your dog has eaten the portion of Table 4.1 that gives entropy data; only the enthalpy data remains. Explain how you could reconstruct the missing portion of the table. Use your method to explicitly check a few of the entries for consistency. How much of Table 4.2 could you reconstruct if it were missing? Explain.

Starting with the Clausius Inequality, ∂S ≥ ∂q/T, can you prove that, under conditions of constant pressure and entropy, for the total entropy to increase, ∂H ≤ 0 J?
Polymers, like rubber, are made of very long molecules, usually tangled up in a configuration that has lots of entropy. As a very crude model of a rubber band, consider a chain of N links, each of length L Imagine that each link has only two possible states, pointing either left or right. The total length L of the rubber band is the net displacement from the beginning of the first link to the end of the last link.
Using the thermodynamic identity, you can now express the tension force F in terms of a partial derivative of the entropy. From this expression, compute the tension in terms of L, T , N, and l.
