how does one calculate the change in entropy in a phase change. I know that Delta S= q(rev)/T= Delta H(fusion)/T , but why suddenly change q to Delta H

Re: 8.31

in page 281, it says that Cv,m= 3/2R . so you multiply both sides by m to make Cv,m just Cv. Then Cv= ΔU/ΔT. multiply both sides by ΔT and you get ΔU= 3/2R n ΔT. and ΔU is just q because w is 0 since there is no change in volume.

in question 8.6, they ask you to determine if the volume of the resulting energy would be more or less to the initial energy. how does one solve for that?

for example on the practice final that was posted here, question 17 has a CN that are bonded by triple bonds. I know that a pi bond is caused by two p orbits overlapping. since there are two pi bonds, i do not know how to write the composition.
