Question

estion 4 An oxygen 2 molecule is adsorbed onto a small patch of the surface of a catalyst. It's known that the molecule is adsorbed on 1 of 225 possible shes for adsorption Suppose the surface has been modified to the only 110 adsorption sites are available Calculate the change in entropy (JK) that occurs as a result of the modification (Please enter your answer is scientific notation. For example if you answer was-3.15 x 10 please enter-3.16E-5) Answer should be in 3 significant figures and no units are required

Answer 1

solution in The is shown below:- Boltzmann formula for the entropy S= k ln(W) where, ka Boltzmann's constant. W z number or of possible microstates configuration of the system given information - k= 1.38 x lo 0-23 Jkt W = 225 The Calculation of entropy is shown below it 8- 1.38 x 10-23Jk" ln(225) = 7.47x16 23 Jkt Therefore, the entropy is 7.478 23 Jk"
