Textbook Question
Chapter 4.3, Problem 28P
Imagine that your dog has eaten the portion of Table 4.1 that gives entropy data; only the enthalpy data remains. Explain how you could reconstruct the missing portion of the table. Use your method to explicitly check a few of the entries for consistency. How much of Table 4.2 could you reconstruct if it were missing? Explain.

Problem 1:
Describe a situation in which the entropy of a container of gas is constant. In other words, come up with your
own problem where the answer is that AS = 0.
Hi, could I get some help with this macro-connection physics problem involving isothermal expansion?
The set up is:
For an isothermal reversible expansion of two moles of an ideal gas, what is the entropy change of the a) gas and b) the surroundings in J/K to 4 digits of precision if the gas volume quadruples, assuming NA = 6.022e23 and kB = 1.38e-23 J/K?
Thank you.
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
