<h2>Answer:</h2>

The decrease in entropy is caused when the product of a reaction has lesser disorder than that of reactant.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As we know that the entropy is the measure of system's disorder, the entropy in solid is less than that of liquid and gases. Gases have highest entropy. The thermodynamics, the second law is based on entropy which defines that in spontaneous reaction, there is always increase in the entropy.

If the reactants are undergoing a chemical reaction to produce a product that has lesser disorder, then there is decrease in entropy. For example, if two gases react to form a solid, then there will be decrease in entropy.

Cyclohexane (C6H12) is a hydrocarbon (a substance containing only carbon and hydrogen) liquid. Which of the following will most

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3}$

Explanation: Hydrocarbons are the compounds which contain only carbon and hydrogen as their constituent elements. These are considered to be as the non polar species as because of the less electronegativity difference between the two components.

Now as it is a non polar species thus it will dissolve only a non polar solute following the principle of 'Like dissolves Like'. Thus the most non polar species given in the options is pentane. Cyclohexane will definitely dissolve this pentane as both are non polar in nature.

$CH_{2}Cl_{2}$ , HI and NaBr are polar specie which cannot be dissolved in non polar species.
