Chapter 16.2, Problem 16.2P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The sign of ΔS has to be predicted for the given reaction.

Concept Introduction:

  • Entropy refers to measurement of randomness or disorderliness in the system.  More the number of molecules in a system more will be the movement of molecules and greater will be the entropy given that weak intermolecular forces prevails between molecules.
  • Entropy is denoted by ‘S’ and ΔS° refers to change in entropy of the system.  When ΔS° value is positive for a phenomenon, it indicates the process is spontaneous – which proceeds without any external influence.  When ΔS° value is negative for a phenomenon, it indicates the process is non–spontaneous – which proceeds upon some external influence.
