    Which one of the following has \[\Delta {{S}^{o}}\] greater than zero?

    A)  \[NH_{4}^{+}\]

    B)  \[Cu(N{{H}_{3}})_{4}^{2+}\]

    C)  \[NiCl_{4}^{2-}\]

    D)  \[meso-[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}C{{l}_{3}}]\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    An entropy \[C{{H}_{3}}Br,C{{H}_{3}}Cl,C{{H}_{3}}F\] of a reaction is positive if the products are in more random state as  compared to reactants (order of randomness is  gas > liquid > solid).                              \[C{{H}_{3}}Br,C{{H}_{3}}F,C{{H}_{3}}Cl\] This process is accompanied by increase in randomness because \[N{{a}_{2}}O\] and \[C-H\] ions are free to move in solution whereas they are not free to move in solid \[N{{H}_{4}}N{{O}_{3}}\]. In  product (solid) has lesser entropy as compared to reactants. In  \[N{{H}_{4}}N{{O}_{3}}\] (solid) has lesser entropy as compared to \[-7.53\text{ }kJ/mol\](\[-398.1\text{ }kJ/mol\] and \[-16.1\text{ }kJ/mol\]). In  both reactants and products are in gaseous state but number of moles of products are decreasing.
