Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can apply the following principles to explain the order:

- The greater the molar mass, the larger the standard molar entropy.

- The greater the molar mass and the structural complexity, the larger the standard molar entropy.

- The greater the structural complexity, the larger the standard molar entropy.

A. Rank the following substances in order of decreasing standard molar entropy (S∘).

Rank the gases from largest to smallest standard molar entropy

I2(g)>Br2(g)>Cl2(g)>F2(g)

This is due to the fact that the greater the molar mass, the larger the standard molar entropy.

B. Rank the gases from largest to smallest standard molar entropy. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

H2O2(g)>H2S(g) >H2O(g)

This is due to the fact that the greater the molar mass and the structural complexity, the larger the standard molar entropy as the hydrogen peroxide has four bonds and weights 34 g/mol as well as hydrogen sulfide that has two bonds only.

C. Rank the gases from largest to smallest standard molar entropy. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

C(s, amorphous) >C(s, graphite)>C(s, diamond)

Since the molecular complexity is greater in the amorphous carbon (messy arrangement), mid in the graphite and lower in the diamond (well organized).

Regards.
