Answer

113.0 J/K

Work Step by Step

For the vaporization reaction $CH_{3}OH(l)\rightarrow CH_{3}OH(g)$ $\Delta _{r}S^{\circ}=\Sigma n_{p}S^{\circ}(products)-\Sigma n_{r}S^{\circ}(reactants)$ $=[1\,mol\times S^{\circ}(CH_{3}OH,g)]-[1\,mol\times S^{\circ}(CH_{3}OH,l)]$ $=1\,mol\times239.8\,Jmol^{-1}K^{-1}-1\,mol\times126.8\,Jmol^{-1}K^{-1}$ $=113.0\,J/K$
