The temperature in the deep interiors of some giant molecular clouds in the Milky Way galaxy is 50 K. Compare the amount of energy that would have to be transferred to this environment to the amount that would have to be transferred to a room temperature environment to bring about a 7.7 J/K increase in the entropy of the universe in each case. ΔEroom temp/ ΔEMilky Way =
A bit of computer memory is some physical object that can be in two different states, often interpreted as 0 and 1. A byte is eight bits, a kilobyte is 1024 (= 210) bytes, a megabyte is 1024 kilobytes, and a gigabyte is 1024 megabytes.   If this entropy is dumped into an environment at room temperature, how much heat must come along with it? Is this amount of heat significant?
Imagine that you are rolling three typical six-sided dice. Each way that you can roll a particular outcome using these three dice represents a microstate for that outcome. How many ways can you roll a five with these three dice? That is, how many microstates exist for a roll of five with three dice? What is the entropy associated with an outcome of five in this situation?
