Hi,
I just have a quick question about #76 on Destroyer GC section. The answer to the question is that C4H10 has higher entropy than C3H8, and I'm sort of wondering why.
My reasoning is that higher entropy->greater disorder. Since you need to put more atoms together to form C4H10, C4H10 would be more "ordered," thus lower entropy.
Destroyer's explanation to this question is totally opposite from my reasoning. It says that C4H10 has more atoms, and therefore greater molecular complexity, so it has a higher entropy.
The explanation also kind of makes sense to me, but I don't see anything wrong with my reasoning... any help?
Thanks 🙂
