    Calculate the entropy change for\[C{{H}_{4}}(g)+{{H}_{2}}O(g)\xrightarrow{{}}3{{H}_{2}}(g)+CO(g)\],using the following data:
    Substance \[C{{H}_{4}}(g)\] \[{{H}_{2}}O(g)\] \[{{H}_{2}}(g)\] \[CO(g)\]
    \[\mathbf{S{}^\circ /J}{{\mathbf{K}}^{\mathbf{-1}}}\mathbf{mo}{{\mathbf{l}}^{\mathbf{-1}}}\] \[186.2\] \[188.7\] \[130.6\] \[197.6\]
    The entropy change is:

    A) \[-46J{{K}^{-1}}mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    B) \[+46J{{K}^{-1}}mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    C) \[-214.5J{{K}^{-1}}mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    D) \[+214.5J{{K}^{-1}}mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\Delta S_{\text{reaction}}^{\text{o}}=\Sigma \Delta S_{\text{products}}^{\text{o}}-\Delta S_{\text{reactants}}^{\text{o}}\] Thus, entropy change for, \[C{{H}_{4}}(g)+{{H}_{2}}O(g)\xrightarrow{{}}3{{H}_{2}}(g)+CO(g);\] \[\Delta S_{reaction}^{\text{o}}=[3\times S_{{{H}_{2}}(g)}^{\text{o}}+S_{CO(g)}^{\text{o}}]\]                                                 \[-[S_{C{{H}_{4}}(g)}^{\text{o}}+S_{{{H}_{2}}O(g)}^{\text{o}}]\] \[=[3\times 130.6+197.6]-[186.2+188.7]\] \[=589.4-374.9\] \[=214.5J{{K}^{-1}}mo{{l}^{-1}}\]
