A system of 7,542 particles initially has 5.44 x 1039 possible configurations. If we remove some of the particles and are left with 2,118 particles in the system what is the change in entropy?
You can assume the number of possible configurations does not change.Please express answer in scientific notation to the second decimal place
The temperature in the deep interiors of some giant molecular clouds in the Milky Way galaxy is 50 K. Compare the amount of energy that would have to be transferred to this environment to the amount that would have to be transferred to a room temperature environment to bring about a 7.7 J/K increase in the entropy of the universe in each case.
ΔEroom temp/ ΔEMilky Way =
In discussing the energy of a physiological system, the Gibbs free energy is most relevant. Since the value of entropy cannot be known, change in the Gibbs free energy is more commonly used. In order to get reliable result we should hold all variables constant except the one we are interested in measuring. If you are interested in studying muscle contraction in this perspective, which one of the following should be measured? Select one:
a. Change in pressure
b. Change in electrical charge
c. Change in length
d. Change in temperature
e. Change in number of molecules
