What might you expect for the value of S∘ (entropy) for butane, C4H10?

Entropies provided (Hint: entropy increases with increasing molecular complexity):

- CH4=186.3(J/mol*K)

-C2H6=229.6(J/mol*K)

-C2H8=270.3(J/mol*K)

Answer:

310.1 J/mol * K

Step-by-step explanation:

since entropy increases with increasing molecular complexity The Value of s ( entropy ) for Butane, C4H10 will be

= 310.1 J/mol * K

Given that :

Methane ( CH4 ) = 186.3 J/mol*K

Ethane ( C2H6 ) = 229.6 J/mol*K

propane ( C3H8 ) = 270.3 J/mol*k
