v. State whether ΔS is positive, negative or zero for the reaction 2H(g) →H2(g). Explain.
Answer:-
ΔS is negative
Explanation:-
Conversion of two moles of gaseous hydrogen (H atoms) into one mole of hydrogen gas (H₂) results in a decrease in system disorder, leading to a reduction in entropy, denoted as ∆S, which is negative
