You can use the equation ΔS(surr)=q(surr)/T or ΔS(surr)=-q(rxn)/T.
the two equations are equal since we know that the energy the system (reactoin) puts out just goes into the surroundings.
(In other words q(surr)=-q(rxn))
Using the equation, <span>ΔS(surr)=-(-283kJ/298K)=0.9497kJ/K or 949.7J/K
This answer makes sense since the reaction is exothermic which means it released energy into the system which usually causes the entropy to increase.
I hope that helps.</span>
With a name like poly hydroxyl alcohol, it suggests that the alcohol has more than one alcohol group. Thus any alcohol with more than one hydroxyl is a polyhydroxyl alcohol. An example that pops into mind is ethanediol (CH2OHCH2OH) this has 2 hydroxyl groups and is an alcohol, thus a polyhydroxyl alcohol
Supercooling<span>, a state where liquids do not solidify even below their normal freezing point. Means sometimes we have liquid water below 0 degree C.</span>
