Is there a difference between Absolute values of constant volume and constant pressure entropy in liquids?

In thermodynamic tables of liquids, S is usually given without mention of constant volume or constant pressure. In solids this makes sense because Cv ~ Cp, so S should be the same. In liquids, Cp...

What test should I use to compare two or three means, if data is not normally distributed but sample size is > 30 in each group?

I personally feel this as a most confusing question. As per my understanding, if sample size is > 30, and sample is skewed, we can still use paramteric approach, as it will follow Z...
