For the combustion reaction at 298 K298\,\text{K} C2H5OH(l)+3 O2(g)  →  2 CO2(g)+3 H2O(l)\displaystyle \mathrm{C_2H_5OH(l)+3\,O_2(g)\;\rightarrow\;2\,CO_2(g)+3\,H_2O(l)} the standard entropy change is ΔSrxn∘=−174  J mol−1 K−1\Delta S^{\circ}_{\text{rxn}} = -174\;\text{J\,mol}^{-1}\,\text{K}^{-1}. The standard molar entropies are S∘ ⁣(O2(g))=205  J mol−1 K−1S^{\circ}\!(\mathrm{O_2(g)}) = 205\;\text{J\,mol}^{-1}\,\text{K}^{-1}, S∘ ⁣(CO2(g))=214  J mol−1 K−1S^{\circ}\!(\mathrm{CO_2(g)}) = 214\;\text{J\,mol}^{-1}\,\text{K}^{-1}, and S∘ ⁣(H2O(l))=70.0  J mol−1 K−1S^{\circ}\!(\mathrm{H_2O(l)}) = 70.0\;\text{J\,mol}^{-1}\,\text{K}^{-1}. Determine the standard molar entropy of ethanol, C2H5OH(l)\mathrm{C_2H_5OH(l)}, at 298 K298\,\text{K}.
