Kauzmann paradox, binodal vs spinodal transitions, and rubber ball friction

[mallinath]

1. State what is "Kauzmann Paradox" and provide your own explanation (or solution) for the paradox and derive a unique explanation using different approaches.

2. If you observe a phase transition phenomenon in your own experiment, how to determine the whether the transition is binodal or spinodal?

3. Explain the origin of the friction when an elastic rubber ball is bouncing on a ground made of a crystalline material using an entropy analysis.

Thanks in Advance
