Question

Answer the following in one or two sentences.

State whether ΔS is positive, negative or zero for the reaction 2H(g)  →  H2(g). Explain.

Explain

Solution

ΔS is negative. Two moles of gaseous H atoms are converted into 1 mole of H2 gas. Thus, a disorder of the system decreases, and hence, entropy decreases, or ∆S is negative.
