Answer to Question #208715 in General Chemistry for Oliver

Question

CH

3OH, is 35.20 kJ/mol. Its boiling

point is 64.6°C

Answer 1

Solution

calculating the entropy methanol

$∆S_{CH_3OH}=\frac{∆_{vap}}{T}$

T in Kelvin=64.6+273=336.6K

$∆S_{CH_3OH}= \frac{35.20\times1000}{336.6}$

Entropy of methanol

=104.58J/mol.K
