Select the reactions for which we should expect a delta S (entropy) to be >0. Can select more than one.
CO2 (g) + 2H2 (g)-->CH3OH (l)
2SO2 (g) + O2 (g)--> 2SO3 (g)
Ba(OH)2 (s)-->BaO (s)+ H2O (g)
FeCl2 (s) + H2(g)-->Fe (s)+2HCl (g)
Hi,
Entropy measures the disorder of a system.
IfSsys > 0, the system becomes more disordered through the course of the reaction
IfSsys < 0, the system becomes less disordered (or more ordered) through the course of the reaction.
There are a few basic principles that should be remembered to help determine whether a system is increasing or decreasing in entropy.
For the above question following two reactions, the entropy S would be greater than zero
Ba(OH)2 (s)-->BaO (s)+ H2O (g)
FeCl2 (s) + H2(g)-->Fe (s)+2HCl (g)
Hope this solves your problem
