2. Suppose that a hypothetical CO crystal consists of five CO molecules. (a) In a random crystal, each of the 5 CO molecules can have two equally likely orientations. Calculate AS when the random crystal is converted to a perfectly ordered CO crystal. (b) If the CO molecule in (a) can also have the energy in either of the two states, E, and E2, calculate the number of microstates available to a random crystal of 5 CO molecules.
