Explanation:
Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.
is positive when randomness increases and
is negative when randomness decreases.
a)
As ions are moving to solid form , randomness decreases and thus sign of is negative.
b)
As solid is changing to gas, randomness increases and thus sign of is positive.
c)
As 2 moles of reactants are converted to 4 moles of products , randomness increases and thus sign of is positive.
d)
As gas is changing to solid, randomness decreases and thus sign of is negative.
e)
As 7 moles of reactants are converted to 8 moles of products , randomness increases and thus sign of is positive.
f)
As solid is changing to gas, randomness increases and thus sign of is positive.
