Residual Entropy

[Nancy Le - 1F]

What is residual entropy and how is it different from regular entropy?

[Ashley Macabasco 2K]

Residual entropy is a specific type of entropy and is the same as positional entropy in which the entropy is based upon the arrangement of molecules or atoms.

[Luke Bricca 1H]

To add to this, residual entropy is the difference in entropy between a non-equilibrium state system and a system near absolute zero (where the entropy should theoretically be zero.)

[Caitlin Mispagel 1D]

Residual entropy is a specific type of entropy and is the same as positional entropy in which the entropy is based upon the arrangement of molecules or atoms.

Is there a difference in the way we would calculate them?

[Max Mazo 2C]

Is residual entropy related to how there is a standard entropy of formation for gas molecules like O₂ that are already in their standard state?
