how can you account for the differences in the entropies of combination of methyl propane (-1465J/mol K) and butane (1465J/mol K)​

Explanation:

The change in entropy is a measure of temperature. When the temperature of a compound or a system increases, there will be more randomness in the system.

The boiling point is directly related to the number of carbon atoms but is indirectly proportional to the branching in a hydrocarbon.

Butane and methyl propane, both have 4 carbon atoms.

But, butane has 4 carbon atoms in a straight chain while methyl propane has 3 carbon atoms in a straight chain and 1 methyl substituent which makes it a branched hydrocarbon.

Thus, the boiling point of methyl propane will be less than the butane. Likewise, the pattern in entropies will be seen.

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
