When 1 mol of water is heated from 10 °C to 25 °C at constant pressure, the change in entropy is + 3.89 J K^-1 mol^-1. When 1 mol of methanol is heated from 10 °C to 25 °C at constant pressure, the change in entropy will be smaller.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The change in entropy depends on the specific heat capacity of the substance. Methanol has a higher specific heat capacity than water, so the change in entropy for methanol will be larger, not smaller.
