Imagine that one carbon in buckminsterfullerene (C60) is replaced by a silicon atom, yielding SiC59. This molecule can then orient in 60 different ways. What is the entropy of one mole of SiC59 at T = 0 K?

    The entropy will be 0

    Explanation:

    Because of the third principle of thermodynamics, the entropy of a pure substance (such as SiC59), with finite density (we have 1 mol in a finite volume), at 0 K is equal to 0.

    So, it really dosen't mather the Si atom, if you are analizing it at the absolute zero (0 K).
