Question

What is the value for ∆Soreaction for the following reaction, given the standard entropy values?

Answer 1

To get the ∆S of the reaction, we simply have to add the ∆S of the reactants and the ∆S of the products. Then, we get the difference between the ∆S of the products and the ∆S of the products. If the ∆S is negative, then the reaction spontaneous. If the otherwise, the reaction is not spontaneous.
