Crystallization of sodium acetate from a supersaturated solution occurs
spontaneously (see Figure 13.2 ). Based on this, what can you deduce about the
signs of
In the setup shown, a container is divided into eight cells and contains two molecules. Initially, both molecules are confined to the left side of the container. (a) Determine the number of possible arrangements before and after removal of the central barrier. (b) After the removal of the barrier, how many of the arrangements correspond to the state in which both molecules are in the left side of the container? How many correspond to the state in which both molecules are in the right side of the container? How many correspond to the state in which the molecules are in opposite sides of the container? Calculate the entropy for each state and comment on the most probable state of the system after removal of the barrier.
Many hydrocarbons exist as structural isomers, which are compounds that have
the same molecular formula but different structures. For example, both butane
and isobutane have the same molecular formula of
