4G.1
For 4G.1 a) how can we tell how many microstates there are if they are aligned in the same way? Do we look at the orientation or number of molecules?

Re: 4G.1
You will generally be told how many states the individual atoms can take. If they are fixed, then there is only one state. Degeneracy is the number of possible states to the power of how many atoms. W= (# states)^ (# atoms).
If there is only one possible state then W=1 and entropy is equal to S=kbln(W)= Kbln(1)= Kb*0= 0
If there is only one possible state then W=1 and entropy is equal to S=kbln(W)= Kbln(1)= Kb*0= 0
