(a)
Interpretation:
The qualitatively the sign of the entropy change expected for given reaction process has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Entropy is the measure of randomness in the system. The entropy change in a reaction is the difference in entropy of the products and reactants.
Where,
Standard entropy change in a reaction and entropy change in the system are same.
Using the value for the change in enthalpy in a system and the temperature, we can calculate
The summation of
