Define entropy. What will be the sing of ∆S for reaction:CaCO3 (s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g) 

Answer»

Entropy is defined as a measure of degree of randomness or disorderness in an isolated system.

It is related to heat absorbed at a constant temperature of the system in a reversible process as

S = \(\frac{q_{rev}}{T}\)

For reaction, CaCO3 (s) → CaO(s) + CO2 (g)

The sing of ΔS is negative so it is not spontaneous.
