Solution

The standard entropy change for a reaction can be calculated using the formula:

ΔS° = Σ S°(products) - Σ S°(reactants)

where S° is the standard molar entropy.

For the given reaction:

C8H18(l) + 25/2 O2(g) → 8 CO2(g) + 9 H2O(g)

The standard molar entropies are given as:

S°(C8H18) = 329.3 J mol-1 K-1 S°(O2) = 205.2 J mol-1 K-1 S°(CO2) = 213.8 J mol-1 K-1 S°(H2O) = 70.0 J mol-1 K-1

We can substitute these values into the formula:

ΔS° = [8S°(CO2) + 9S°(H2O)] - [S°(C8H18) + 25/2*S°(O2)]

ΔS° = [8213.8 J mol-1 K-1 + 970.0 J mol-1 K-1] - [329.3 J mol-1 K-1 + 25/2*205.2 J mol-1 K-1]

ΔS° = [1710.4 J mol-1 K-1 + 630.0 J mol-1 K-1] - [329.3 J mol-1 K-1 + 2565.0 J mol-1 K-1]

ΔS° = 2340.4 J mol-1 K-1 - 2894.3 J mol-1 K-1

ΔS° = -553.9 J mol-1 K-1

So, the standard entropy change for the reaction is -553.9 J mol-1 K-1.
