Explanation / Answer

Ethanol has greater molar entropy than epoxyethane. Entropy is measure of randomness or degrees of freedom of a system. Epoxyethane has a locked structure due to its ring structure thus limitiing its number of degrees of freedom.

Pentane has greater molar entropy than neopentane. The greater surface area of a long chain alkane increses its entropy compared to its branched counterpart.
