Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness. This means that more is the number of collisions taking place between atoms of a substance more will be the randomness.

Therefore, more will be the entropy of substance. We cannot measure the entropy but we can measure the change in entropy of a substance.

A thermometer is a glass tube that contains a liquid column generally mercury, and it is usually used to measure the temperature of human body.

A calorimeter is a device or apparatus that is used in a chemical reaction to measure the amount of heat involved.

Therefore, we can conclude that the student can't measure entropy directly, only an entropy change.

A. Strong & Weak nuclear forces which are attractive. And electromagnetic.
b. Because the more electronegative atom really wants to complete it's valence shell, so it either covalently, or non-covalently bonds to the other atom.
c. Ummm, ask google? Well, it's kind of logical as well, but the part that Coulomb's law plays into it - I do not know.

Answer:

(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol

Explanation:

In this case, we have an epoxide opening in acid medium. The first step then is the protonation of the oxygen. Then the epoxide is broken to generate the most stable carbocation. The nucleophile ( $CH_3OH$ ) will attack the carbocation generating a new bond. Finally, the oxygen is deprotonated to obtain an ether functional group and we will obtain the molecule (S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol.

See figure 1
