Which of the following linear chain alcohols is likely to have the largest standard molar entropy in the liquid state?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Larger linear chain alcohols usually have more degrees of freedom and are less structurally ordered in the liquid state, resulting in a higher standard molar entropy. Option E has the largest linear chain with five CH2 units, while the other options have fewer. Furthermore, E has more hydroxyl (-OH) groups than the other options, leading to higher standard molar entropy.
