Avogadro's Number and Residual Entropy

Postby Dan Dinh 3K » Tue Feb 09, 2016 12:13 am

When do you need to multiple the equation, S = Kbln(W) by avogadro's number? For example, in the 2012 midterm, on question 3A, you don't need to. Is this because it is asking for the residual entropy for the entire molecule?

If the question asks for molar residual entropy, you have to raise to the 6.02x10^23. Otherwise its only the number of particles given.
