Problem 1: For the reaction 2CH3OH(l) + 3O2(g) = 2CO2 + 4H2O(l) I calculated that the change in molar entropy of the system is 313.7 Joules/(moles*kelvin). The question then asked what is the entropy change of the system when 2.35 moles of O2 react. I multiplied 313.7 Joules/(moles*kelvin) by 2.35 moles of O2 and also divided by 3 moles of O2 because of the "3" coefficient, and got 246 Joules/kelvin and I just want to make sure that last part was correct. Specifically, was I correct to both multiply by 2.35 and divide by 3.
Problem 2: Very similar problem. For the reaction H2(g) + F2(g) = 2HF(g) I calculated that the change in molar entropy of the surroundings is 1,819 Joules/(moles*kelvin). The question then asked to calculate the entropy change of the surroundings when 2.15 moles of H2(g) react, so I multiplied 1,819 Joules/(moles*kelvin) by 2.15 moles of H2(g) and then divided by 1 moles of H2(g) since the coefficient is "1" and got 3,911 Joules/kelvin, and I just want to make sure this last part is correct. Specifically, was I correct to multiply by 2.15 and then divide by 1
