Interpretation:
The chemical processes for each step of the given process are to be stated. The change in entropy for the complete process is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The term entropy is used to represent the randomness in a system. When a system moves from an ordered arrangement to a less order arrangement, then the entropy of the system increases. The entropy of mixing of gases is given as,
