What does entropy measure in a substance?

Randomness or disorder

What are the units of standard molar entropy?

J K−1mol−1\text{J K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}

Why must elements be included in entropy change calculations?

Elements have non-zero entropy values

Which state of matter generally has the highest entropy?

Gases

Compare entropy of H2O(l)\text{H}_2\text{O}(l) at 70 and H2O(g)\text{H}_2\text{O}(g) at 189. Why the difference?

Gas is more disordered than liquid

Why does C3H8\text{C}_3\text{H}_8 (270) have higher entropy than CH4\text{CH}_4 (186)?

Larger molecules have more disorder

What is the formula for standard entropy change?

ΔS°=ΣS°products−ΣS°reactants\Delta S° = \Sigma S°_{products} - \Sigma S°_{reactants}

For 2H2O(l)→2H2O(g)2\text{H}_2\text{O}(l) \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O}(g), what is ΔS°\Delta S°? (S°S° values: liquid=70, gas=189)

238 J K−1mol−1\text{J K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}

What does a positive ΔS°\Delta S° value indicate?

Entropy increases; more disorder

What generally happens to entropy when a solid dissolves in a solvent?

Entropy increases
