Answer:
a. Negative
b. Positive
c. Negative
d. zero
Explanation:
Entropy is measure of disorder. Positive entropy implies that a system is becoming more disordered. The opposite is true.
(a) N2(g)+3H2(g) → 2NH3(g) Negative because the system is becoming less disordered since the number of gaseous moles is decreasing
(b) CaCO3(s)→CaO(s)+CO2(g) Positive because a solid produces a gas which is more disorder therefore there is an increase in entropy
(c) 3C2H2(g)→C6H6(g) Negative because the number of moles of a gas decrease meaninng there is less disorder
(d) Al2O3(s)+3H2(g) → 2Al(s)+3H2O(g) zero because the gaseous moles do not change
