Does entropy increase or decrease in the following processes?2 SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2 SO3(g)

Does entropy increase or decrease in the following processes?Polymeric complex carbohydrates are metabolized by the body, converted into smaller simple sugars.

Which of the following processes results in an increase in entropy of the system?a. A drop of ink spreading out when it is placed in waterb. Steam condensing into drops on windowsc. Constructing a building from loose bricks

For each of the following processes, specify whether entropy increases or decreases. Explain each of your answers.Assembling a jigsaw puzzle

For the reaction NaCl(s) →^(water) Na +(aq) + Cl -(aq), ∆H = +1 kcal/mol (+4.184 kJ/mol)Does entropy increase or decrease in this process?

For the reaction 2 Hg(l) O2 → 2HgO(s), ∆H = -43 kcal/mol (-180 kJ/mol).Does entropy increase or decrease in this process? Explain.

The following reaction is used in the industrial synthesis of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) polymer: Cl2(g) + H2C=CH2(g) → ClCH2CH2Cl(l) ∆H = -52kcal/mol (-218 kJ/mol)Is ∆S positive or negative for this process?
