Imagine that you are rolling three typical six-sided dice. Each way that you can roll a particular outcome using these three dice represents a microstate for that outcome.
How many ways can you roll a five with these three dice? That is, how many microstates exist for a roll of five with three dice?
What is the entropy associated with an outcome of five in this situation?
With two dice, each numbered 1–6, there are two possible ways to roll a 3.
Thus, for the outcome of 3 (a particular macrostate), there are 2 microstates.
How many possible ways are there to roll a 5?
number of ways to roll a 5:
What is the entropy associated with an outcome of 5?
You discovered a group of people living in a primitive village
that is far from civilization. There are about 40 people living in 12
huts. Their primary source of food is from hunting beasts in the
forest, fishing in the river, and farming different crops. During
summer, they wear thin clothes to minimize the heat in their
bodies. They do not have air conditioning systems or fans that
could cool them on such hot days but they usually stay under the
trees or near the river where there is plenty of fresh air. At night,
they light a campfire to provide heat and to give a little brightness
during the dark.
Supposing you have with you motors, generators, and transformers (the
types are up to you), how would you use them to improve the quality of life
of the people in the village?

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.

You look around and see that your room is a mess. You haven't had the time to pick up after yourself the last few days. As you start putting all your stuff in their proper places you wonder, "Am I not creating order from disorder? Didn't the Second Law of Thermodynamics just tell me that any process that reduces the Entropy (Disorder) of the Universe is forbidden? But I create order from disorder every time I clean my room!" Did you just break the Second Law of Thermodynamics or can you explain why your actions (cleaning your room) does not violate the Second Law? Argue your case is a few sentences. ------arrow_forward
