Q74 · Chemistry

A protein undergoes reversible thermal denaturation from its initial state N to denatured state D according to N ⇌\rightleftharpoons D. At 60 °C, the concentrations of both N and D are equal at equilibrium, and the standard enthalpy change of denaturation is 666 kJ mol−1^{-1}. The standard entropy change (ΔS∘\Delta S^\circ in kJ K−1^{-1}mol−1^{-1}) of the protein upon denaturation at 60 °C is closest to
