Question

Which substance would have the greatest standard molar entropy?NO2(g)N; (g)N20NO20​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Standard molar entropy determines the randomness of a mole of substance. Thus, the larger and complex a molecule is, the larger will be its molar entropy.  

The molar entropy of gases is higher than liquids which is turn is higher than solid.  

Here , NO2 is a gas with higher complex structure (trigonal planar) than N2 (linerar), N2O (linear) and N2O2 (linear)

Hence, NO2(g) will have greatest standard molar entropy  

Option A is correct
