    Entropy change \[(\Delta S)\] is positive for the following:

    A)  \[21\,(g)\xrightarrow{{}}{{I}_{2}}(g)\]

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

    C)  \[{{H}_{2}}O(l)\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}_{2}}O(s)\]

    D)  \[N{{a}^{+}}(g)+C{{l}^{-}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}NaCl(s)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    The solid \[CaC{{O}_{3}}(s)\] with low entropy is transformed into a solid\[CaO(s)\] with low entropy. and a gas \[C{{O}_{2}}\] with high entropy. Hence, \[\Delta S\], entropy change is positive.
