Chemistry 2004 JAMB Past Questions - Question 28: Which of the following hydrogen halides has the highest entropy value?
Choose the correct answers from the options given.
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
A
Explanation
The entropy of a substance is related to the number of ways its particles can be arranged. In the case of hydrogen halides, the entropy generally increases with increasing molecular weight. Therefore, among the options provided, hydrogen iodide (HI) would have the highest entropy value due to its larger molecular weight compared to HF, HCl, and HBr.
