How is entropy changing for the process: 2 N_2(g) + O_2(g) rightarrow 2 N_2O(g) A. entropy is increasing B. entropy is unchanged C. entropy is decreasing D. entropy cannot be approximated
Expert Answer
Answer
Entropy is the measurment of disorder of the molecules in the system.
During this reaction the number of moles are decreses in the formation of products. so, the number of molecules are decreses. i.e the disorder of the molecules decreses. Hence the entropy is decresing during the reaction.
The answer is C.
