Chapter 4, Problem 4F.7BST

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The standard enthalpy of vaporization of diethyl ether using Trouton’s rule has to be estimated.

Concept Introduction:

The degree of randomness in a system is the measured in terms of entropy.  Higher the entropy greater will be the disorder in the system.  The mathematical expression for the calculation of entropy of vaporization is shown below.

$\Delta {\text{S}}_{vap}^{°}=\frac{\Delta {\text{H}}_{vap}^{°}}{{\text{T}}_b}$
