One mole of CH3COOH\text{CH}_3\text{COOH} undergoes dimerization in vapour phase at 127°C as :2CH3COOH(g)⇌(CH3COOH)2(g)2\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}(\text{g}) \rightleftharpoons (\text{CH}_3\text{COOH})_2(\text{g}) Calculate the change in standard entropy during dimerization if dimer formation is due to two H-bonds involved in dimer, each of 33 kJ strength and the degree of dimerisation of acetic acid 98.2%.
