Answer

$S = 2.47 \times 10^{-23} J/K$

Work Step by Step

The entropy is given by the Boltzmann's entropy equation $S = k ln( W)$ where W is the multiplicity. To find the greatest entropy, we use the biggest multiplicity from$ (b)$ which is $ 6$ and Boltzmann's constant $k = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} J/K$ So, $S = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} ln( 6 )$ $S = 2.47 \times 10^{-23} J/K$
