Solution

The correct option is C 1
Gaseous substances generally possess more entropy than solids. So whenever the products contain more moles of a gas than the reactants, the entropy change is probably positive. And hence, S is
(i) positive
(ii) negative
(iii) negative
(iv) negative
(v) negative

Entropy change is positive in 1 process only.

[Note: For a given substance at a given temperature, Sgas>Sliquid>Ssolid]
