At 25$\degree$C, a benzene molecule (C₆H₆) has approximately 1.143 * 10¹⁴ accessible microstates.Estimate the molar entropy of C₆H₆ at 25.0$\degree$C to two significant figures.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molar entropy (S) can be estimated using the Boltzmann equation: S = k * ln(W), where k is the Boltzmann constant (1.38 x 10^-23 J/K) and W is the number of accessible microstates. For a mole, multiply by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23). Calculating gives approximately 2.7 x 10^2 J/mol K.
