Answer: The entropy change of the surroundings will be -17.7 J/K mol.
Explanation: The enthalpy of vapourization for 1 mole of acetone is 31.3 kJ/mol
Amount of Acetone given = 10.8 g
Number of moles is calculated by using the formula:

Molar mass of acetone = 58 g/mol
Number of moles = 
If 1 mole of acetone has 32.3 kJ/mol of enthalpy, then
0.1862 moles will have = 
To calculate the entropy change for the system, we use the formula:

Temperature = 56.2°C = (273 + 56.2)K = 329.2K
Putting values in above equation, we get
(Conversion Factor: 1 kJ = 1000J)
At Boiling point, the liquid phase and gaseous phase of acetone are in equilibrium. Hence,


The results of Dominic and Eva's experiment is unreliable and can lead to a pseudoscientific claim primarily because they did not repeat their tests multiple times. Although, they used the same type of stopwatch in recording the time it takes for the chemical reaction to occur, they have different reactions times. Thus, it would have been better if they conducted several trials then obtained the average of their results.
