10. The initial and final entropy of a system are 42.9 J/mole*K and 267.2 J/mole*K, respectively. At a temperature of 86.3oC, the enthalpy associated with this process was +68.6 KJ/mole.
(a) Calculate the number of configurations that the system can assume finally.
(b) Calculate the change of entropy for the system, in J/mole*K. Also, state whether the system became more or less disorderly.
(c) Calculate the Gibb’s free energy for the process, in KJ/mole
(d) State whether the process above is spontaneous, non-spontaneous, or already at equilibrium.
