Q11 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (10 Jan Shift 2) · Chemistry
The process with negative entropy change is:
- Correct answerASynthesis of ammonia from and .
- BDissolution of iodine in water.
- CDissociation of to and .
- DSublimation of dry ice.
Solution
If a process leads to the arrangement in a system, it will have a negative entropy, whereas if disorder increases, the entropy will be positive. When the number of moles of a gas increases, or ice melts, the disorder increases. Freezing of water, crystallization, combination reactions etc, leads to an arrangement.
Dissolution of in .
Dissolution of in .
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
