An oxygen o2 molecule is adsorbed on a patch of surface (see sketch at right). this patch is known to contain 484 adsorption sites. the o2 molecule has enough energy to move from site to site, so it could be on any one of them. suppose additional surface becomes exposed, so that 729 adsorption sites are now available for the molecule. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.

    We have Boltzmann's equation S = k ln W

    Boltzmann's constant k = 1.381 x 10^-23 J/K

    W = Number of absorption sites

    At W = 484, Entropy S1 = 1.381 x 10^-23 ln 484 = 8.537 x 10^-23 J/K

    At W = 729, Entropy S2 = 1.381 x 10^-23 ln 729 = 9.103 x 10^-23 J/K

    Change of Entropy = S2 - S1 = 0.566 x 10^-23 J/K
