MCQ
Which of the following processes takes place with decrease of entropy?
  • A
    Solid $\to $ gas
  • B
    sugar $+$ water $\to $ solution
  • $NH_{3(g)} + HCl_{(g)} \to NH_4Cl_{(s)}$
  • D
    $A_{(g)} + B_{(g)} \to $ mixture

Answer

Correct option: C.
$NH_{3(g)} + HCl_{(g)} \to NH_4Cl_{(s)}$
c
The structure of a solid is usually well ordered, the structure of a liquid is less ordered, and that of a gas is quite random. Entropy of mixing is higher than the individual separate reactants. In option $(C)$ two gases changing to the one solid product. The product side is more organised and thus has less entropy.
