Chapter 17, Problem 17.86QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The number of microstates accessible to a single molecule of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$ at $298\text{K}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: Microstate is defined as a way by which the number of possible outcome is arranged. Microstates are indistinguishable from each other. The standard molar entropy of a substance is the entropy of one mole of a compound in its standard state.

To determine: The number of microstates accessible to a single molecule of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$ at $298\text{K}$.
