NEET Chemistry Entropy MCQ Question with Solution

For a chemical reaction where the products are more disordered than the reactants, what can be inferred about the entropy change (∆S)?

A

Entropy increases

B

Entropy decreases

C

Entropy remains constant

D

Entropy change is zero only for reversible processes

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to the NCERT context, if the structure of the products is more disordered than that of the reactants, there will be a resultant increase in entropy.
