Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gaseous state generally has a higher entropy than the liquid state, as the molecules in the gas phase have more disorder and freedom of movement. Therefore, C2H5OH(g) would have a higher entropy value than C2H5OH(1) (which I assume refers to the liquid phase).
