Question
### Molar Heat Capacities of Molecular Chlorine (Cl₂)

The molar heat capacities for solid, liquid, and gaseous molecular Cl₂ can be expressed in the following general form:

\[
\frac{C_p^\circ}{R} = a + bT + cT^2 + dT^3
\]

where the coefficients \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), and \(d\) are specified in the table below:

| Phase  | T Range (in K)  | a      | b (in K\(^{-1}\)) | c (in K\(^{-2}\))    | d (in K\(^{-3}\))    |
|--------|-----------------|--------|-------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
| solid  | 15 – 172.12     | –1.545 | 0.1502            | –0.001179          | 3.441 × 10\(^{-6}\) |
| liquid | 172.12–239.0    | 7.689  | 0.005582          | –1.954 × 10\(^{-5}\) | —                  |
| gas    | > 239.0         | 3.812  | 0.001220          | –4.856 × 10\(^{-7}\) | —                  |

#### Notes:
- \(T_{\text{fus}} = 172.12\) K, \(\Delta_{\text{fus}}H = 6.406\) kJ/mol
- \(T_{\text{vap}} = 239.0\) K, \(\Delta_{\text{vap}}H = 20.40\) kJ/mol

#### Problems:

(a) **Entropy Calculation:**
   - Use this data to find the entropy content (in J/K) for molecular chlorine at 200 K, given the absolute entropy at 15 K is 1.401 J/K.

(b) **Enthalpy Change:**
   - Calculate the change in enthalpy, \(\Delta H\) (in kJ), when one mole of Cl₂ is heated from 200 to 250 K.
