Answer

Chaos is being reduec, since 3 molecules of gas now form 2 molecules of gas

clearly dS decreases, so entropy must be NEGATIVE

for enthalpy, this must be positive, since bonds are being broken down, as well

the triple bond of Ozone requires much more energy than the O=O bonds so we need an energy inlet, i.e. the ENDOTHERMIC process

choose positive dH

from th elist, choose 4
