The first step is the draw out the molecules in question to understand what is happening in the reaction. You can see that the bromine atom has been substituted for an alcohol group (OH) in the enthane mo...

Entropy is the level of disorder in the universe. The more disordered something is, the higher its entropy. Molecules in solids ae specifically arranged and vibrating, hence the level of disorder is low, ...

Chlorine molecules are smaller than bromine molecules in size, therefore, the van der Waals forces (intermolecular forces) are weaker between Cl2 molecules than compared to Br2 molecules.

To balance redox equations, do the following steps:
-Divide into 2 half equations
-Balance the formula EXCEPT for oxygen and hydrogen
-Balance the number of oxygens by adding water
