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

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molar entropy can be estimated using the Boltzmann entropy formula: 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 1 mole, multiply by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23). Calculating gives approximately 270 J/mol·K.
