Explanation / Answer
The Entropy of a substance is a measure of its "disorder." Thegreater the disorder, the greater the entropy. In general, a gas ismore disordered (higher entropy) then a liquid, which is moredisordered than a solid. Ions in aqueous solution are normally moredisordered than in their solid salt. S is the change inentropy (entropy of products minus entropy of reactants). NH3 (g) + HCl (g) -> NH4Cl (s) Here we are going from gas to solid (less disorder) thusnegative entropy. Cu (s) + 2 H2SO4 (aq) -> CuSO4(aq) + 2 H2O (l) + SO2 (g) Here we are going from solid and aqueous to aqueous, liquid and gas(more disorder), positiveentropy. C6H12O6 (s) + 6 O2 (g)-> 6 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l) Here the 6 moles of gas to gas cancel, so we observe the solidgoing to liquid, positiveentropy. BaSO4 (s) + 2 H2O (g) ->BaSO4.2H2O (s) Here we are going from solid and gas to less disorder solid.Negative entropy. 2 Na (l) + H2 (g) -> 2 NaH (s) Here we are going from liquids and gas to solid, less disorder,negative entropy. Mg (s) + CO2 (g) = MgO (s) + CO (g) Here we are going from solid and gas to solid and gas, entropy isvery close to zero. Hope this helped :)
