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. |
