Calculate the entropy change DfreezeSo when 1.00 mol of ethanol at its melting point (Tm = 158.8 K) freezes (in the process the temperature does not change and DfusHo for ethanol is + 4.64 kJ mol-1).
Calculate the change of entropy (in J K-1 mol-1) when 1 mol of cyclohexane is heated at constant pressure from 20 °C to 40 °C, the molar heat capacity, Cp, of cyclohexane is 156 J K-1 mol-1, assume that the molar heat capacity, Cp is constant over this temperature range.
When 1 mol of a solvent is heated from 5 °C to 10 °C at constant pressure, the change of entropy is + 8.00 J K-1 mol-1. When the solvent is heated further from 25 °C to 30 °C, the change in entropy will also be + 8.00 J K-1 mol-1.
