Entropy increases in reaction 1 due to increase in the number of particles while entropy decreases in reaction 2 due to decrease in the number of particles.
Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness in a system. The higher the entropy, the more disorderly the system is and the lower the entropy, the less disorderly the system is. We must note that entropy increases with increase in the number of particles.
In the reaction, 2 KClO3 (s)⇌2 KCl (s)+3 O2 (g), entropy increases because one of the products is a gas and the number of particles increases from left to right. In the second reaction, CoCl2 (s)+6 H2O (g)⇌CoCl2⋅6H2O, entropy decreases because the number of particles decreases.
