Q. Statement 1: Molar entropy of vaporization of water is different from ethanol.
Statement 2: Water is more polar than ethanol.

Thermodynamics

Solution:

The molar entropy of vaporization of water is different from ethanol due to hydrogen bonding.According to $VSEPR$ theory water molecule has two lone pairs of electronsand has angular shape and show some polarity which is higher than that of ethanol.So both statement 1 and statement 2 are correct but statement 2 is not the explanation of statement 1
