Problem 5 on HW2

Dear class,

At some point in this problem it asks you to prove that DeltaS(Ts) = 0. One approach would be to go back to the derivation for the free energy of folding with temperature that you did in HW1, where you had explicit expressions for DeltaS and DeltaH. Another approach might be to use a thermodynamic identity that you learned in your ChE110 classes. Hint: if you know G(T,P) then what is (dG/dT)_P, by definition?

Cheers,
MSS
