10. [3 marks] The amino acid glycine dimerizes to form the dipeptide glycylglycine (say that three times fast!) according to the reaction: \( 2 \mathrm{Glycine}(\mathrm{s}) \rightarrow \) Glycylglycine \( (\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l}) \) Calculate \( \Delta S_{\text {sys }}, \Delta S_{\text {surr }} \) and \( \Delta S_{\text {universe }} \) at \( 298 \mathrm{~K} \). Is the reaction spontaneous at this temperature? Useful thermodynamic data in the Table below:
