    For which reaction change of entropy will be positive?

    A)  \[{{H}_{2}}(g)+{{I}_{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)\]

    B)  \[HCl(g)+N{{H}_{3}}(g)\rightleftharpoons N{{H}_{4}}Cl(s)\]

    C)  \[N{{H}_{4}}N{{O}_{3}}(s)\rightleftharpoons {{N}_{2}}O(g)+2{{H}_{2}}O(g)\]

    D)  \[MgO(s)+{{H}_{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons Mg(s)+2{{H}_{2}}O(l)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Entropy is a measure of randomness of the system, so entropy of a substance in different physical states is in the order Gas > liquid > solid \[\Delta S={{S}_{\text{Prodct}}}-{{S}_{\text{Reactant}}}\] In option  solid is converted into gaseous state, so \[\Delta S\]will be positive.
