Answer #1

\DeltaS sys is -ve for the reaction of B.

H2O(g) ----------- H2O(s)

\DeltaS sys = \Delta S products - \Delta S reactants

Entropy for solid compounds is very less and for gaseous compounds entropy is more.

In the above reaction,

Products are in solids, SO the entropy is less

Reactants are in gaseous , So the entroly is more.

Hence, \Delta S sys is negative for this reaction.
