Molecules having higher enthalpy of vaporization and boiling point than another but with lower entropy of vaporization?
I came across the Trouton's rule that predicts the entropy of vaporization of most molecules to be around 85~88kJ/(K mol). It is said to fail when there is hydrogen bond between molecules.
When I ...
