    For which one of the following reactions will there be a positive \[\Delta S\]?

    A)  \[{{H}_{2}}O(g)\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}_{2}}O(l)\]

    B)  \[{{H}_{2}}+{{I}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2HI\]

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

    D)  \[{{N}_{2}}(g)+3{{H}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}2N{{H}_{3}}(g)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[\Delta S\] (entropy change) is the measure of randomness and thus in solid, liquid and gas, the order of entropy is gas > liquid > solid Thus, \[\Delta S\] is positive for the reaction given in option [c].
