Question

1 mole of ribose (C5H10O5(s)) has a greater entropy than 1 mole of sucrose (C12H22O11(s)) True or false

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is possible to substantiate that the statement is false, since the entropy of sucrose is greater than the entropy of ribose due to the fact that molar mass of the sucrose (342 g/mol) is greater than the molar mass of ribose (150 g/mol) and the general rule states that the greater the molar mass the greater the entropy.

Best regards.
