Chemistry ?

With two dice, each numbered 1–6, there are two possible ways to roll a 3.

One possibility shows the first die at 1 and the second die at 2. The other possibility shows the first die at 2 and the second die at 1.
Thus, for the outcome of 3 (a particular macrostate), there are 2 microstates.
How many possible ways are there to roll a 5 ?
number of ways to roll a 5 :
What is the entropy associated with an outcome of 5 ?

Since there are 4 microstates:
S = k ln W
k = Boltzmann constant = 1.38 x 10-23 J/K
S = 1.38 x 10-23 J/K ln (4) = 1.91X10^-23 J/K
