Edexcel IAL Chemistry A2 12.2 Entropy and dispersal
Count distinct ways energy can be distributed, then use greater molecular complexity or more accessible arrangements to justify the higher molar entropy.
How this is tested
- Complete energy-quanta distributions by listing every distinct allocation between molecules.
- Compare standard molar entropies using molecular complexity and possible energy arrangements.
