Pure membranes of dipalmitoyl lecithin phospholipids are models of biological membranes. They melt
= 41°C. Reversible melting experiments indicate that
at Tm
AHm=37.7 kJ mol-1. Calculate:
A. The entropy of melting, ASm-
B. The Gibbs free energy of melting, AGm-
C. Does the membrane become more or less ordered upon melting?
D. There are 32 rotatable CH2
CH2 bonds in each molecule that can rotate more freely if the
membrane melts. What is the increase in multiplicity on melting a mole of bonds?

You find a campground that is near an outcropping of ice. Part of the outcropping forms a feta=51.5* slopeup that leads to a verticle cliff. You decide that this is an idea place to hang your food supply out of bear reach. You put all of your food into a burlap sack, tie a rope to the sack, and then tie a bag full of rocks to the other end of the rope to act as an anchor. You currently have 18.5 kg of food left for the rest of your trip, so you put 18.5 kg of rocks in the anchor bag to balance it out. what happens when you lower the food bag over the edge and let go of the anchor bag?
