Concept Introduction:
Entropy is defined as the ratio of thermal energy to the temperature which is unavailable for work done. It is also defined as the measure of disorder of molecule of a system. It is an extensive property and state function.
Entropy is related with the number of microstates for a system and microstate is defined as the number of ways for the system to be arranged. In different physical states, entropy depends upon the phase of the substance; the order of the entropy is given by:

Answer to Problem 44E
Sign of entropy is negative as the randomness decreases.
Explanation of Solution
Given process is:
In this case, sign of entropy is negative as the number of moles of reactant in gaseous state is more in comparison to number of moles of product in gaseous state. Thus, relatively ordered precipitate (
