The entropy increases:)
The entropy increase in this reaction.
In the reaction 2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(l), the entropy decreases. This is because the reactants consist of gaseous molecules, which have higher entropy due to their greater freedom of movement, while the products include liquid water, which has lower entropy. Additionally, there is a reduction in the number of gas molecules from 7 (2 C2H2 + 5 O2) to 4 (4 CO2), further contributing to the decrease in disorder. Overall, the transition from gas to liquid and the reduction in the number of gas molecules results in a net decrease in entropy.
Yes, this is a chemical reaction.
To determine which reaction has a decrease in entropy, we look at the change in the number of gas molecules. A decrease in entropy typically occurs when the number of gas molecules decreases from reactants to products. Among the reactions provided, the formation of ( \text{N}_2\text{O}_4(g) ) from ( 2\text{NO}_2(g) ) results in a decrease in the total number of gas molecules (from 2 moles of ( \text{NO}_2 ) to 1 mole of ( \text{N}_2\text{O}_4 )), indicating a decrease in entropy.
Yes, this is a chemical reaction.

Reaction D would result in decreased entropy, as the solid reactant (MgCl2) is breaking into ions in solution, which typically decreases entropy. The other reactions involve gases as reactants or products, which generally increase entropy due to higher degrees of freedom in gaseous states.
An example of a reaction that would result in decreased entropy is a dehydration reaction.
A process will be spontaneous when the change in Gibbs free energy is negative.The change in Gibbs free energy can be calculated from the equation:G2 - G1 = H2 - H1 - T(S2 - S1)whereG is Gibbs free energyH is EnthalpyT is absolute temperature (when T is given in Kelvin or Rankine it is an absolute temperature)S is EntropyIn this caseH2 - H1 = 125 kJT = 293 KS2 - S1 = 35 J/K = 0.035 kJ/Kso doing the math you getG2 - G1 = 125 - 293(0.35) = 22.45 > 0 so the process is not spontaneous in the direction where enthalpy change and entropy change are being measured. The reverse process would be spontaneous.
Yes, this is a chemical reaction.

The equation is: N2(g) + 2O2(g) -> 2NO2(g) Given enthalpy changes: 2NO(g) + O2(g) + 112 kJ -> 2NO2(g) N2(g) + O2(g) -> 2NO(g) + 180 kJ Using Hess's Law, we subtract the second equation from the sum of the first and third equations: 2NO2(g) - (2NO(g) + O2(g)) = 2NO2(g) - 2NO(g) - O2(g), resulting in the entropy change for the third reaction.

Chemical change and exothermic. In this reaction, hydrogen and oxygen undergo a chemical change to form water, releasing energy in the form of heat and light.
The reaction between magnesium and oxygen to form magnesium oxide is a chemical change. This is because new substances with different properties are formed during the reaction.
