Now, let's use this property of logarithms to learn something about the number of microstates available to a molecular system. The absolute entropy of a system is related to the number of microstates available to it via Boltzmann's formula S = kB In W. If a system containing one mole of an ideal gas has an entropy of 167.7 J/K, how many microstates does it have? Report the order of W, as we have defined it above, and you should use scientific notation, 1.23E45, and report 3 (three) significant figures.
