    \[\Delta S\] is expected to be maximum for the reaction

    A)  \[Ca\,(s)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}CaO\,(s)\]

    B)  \[C\,(g)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}{{O}_{2}}\left( g \right)\]

    C)  \[{{N}_{2}}\,(g)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}2N{{O}_{2}}(g)\]

    D)  \[CaC{{O}_{3}}\,(s)\xrightarrow{{}}CaO\,(s)+C{{O}_{2}}(g)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Entropy increases when solid changes to liquid or liquid changes to vapours. In gaseous reaction it increases when number of moles of products is greater than reactants. In   \[CaC{{O}_{3}}(s)\xrightarrow{{}}CaCO(s)+C{{O}_{2}}(g);\], solid changes to gas hence its entropy increases maximum.
