Solution
The correct option is ACaO(s)+CO2(g)⇌CaCO3(s) Entropy is positive(greater than zero) when a system moves from a less random state to a more random state. Thus, as there is a change from solid to liquid to gas, entropy keeps on increasing and become greater than zero.
In the reaction given in C option, NaNO3 changes from solid to its aqueous ions Na+ and NO−3. Thus, entropy is greater than zero.
