A.
ΔS° = -37.65 J/K/mol; negative sign indicates that there is a decrease in the gaseous species during the reaction
B.
ΔS° = -198.7 J/K/mol; negative sign indicates that there is a decrease in the gaseous species during the reaction
Answer
C.
ΔS° = -31.25 J/K/mol; negative sign indicates that there is a decrease in the gaseous species during the reaction
D.
ΔS° = +31.25 J/K/mol; positive sign indicates that the reaction is spontaneous
