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

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

    B) \[2l(g)\xrightarrow{{}}{{I}_{2}}(g)\]

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

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

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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