Question

Predict whether the ∆S° for the given reaction is expected to be less than, greater than, or equal to 0. Explain.

Chemical reaction showing reactants and products for entropy discussion in organic chemistry.

Accepted Answer

∆S° is expected to be greater than 0 because the number of moles increases from the reactant side to the product side.

Answer

∆S° is expected to be less than 0 because the number of moles decreases from the reactant side to the product side.

Answer

∆S° is expected to be equal to 0 because the number of moles does not change from the reactant side to the product side.
