Answer:

Rank the following chemical species from lowest absolute entropy (So) (1) to highest absolute entropy (5) at 298 K?

a. Al (s)

b. H2O (l)

c. HCN (g)

d. CH3COOH (l)

e. C2H6 (g)

Step-by-step explanation:

Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorderness.

In solids, the entropy is very less compared to liquids and gases.

The entropy order is:

solids<liquids<gases

Among the given substances, water in liquid form has a strong intermolecular H-bond.

So, it has also less entropy.

Next acetic acid.

Between the gases, HCN, and ethane, ethane has more entropy due to very weak intermolecular interactions.

HCN has slight H-bonding in IT.

Hence, the entropy order is:

Al(s) < CH3COOH (l) <H2O(l) < HCN(g) < C2H6(g)
