Given the chemical equation, predict the ΔSsystem for the change. C12H22O11 (s) C12H22O11 (aq) positive ΔS negative ΔS

positive ΔS

Explanation:

The reaction is given as;

C12H22O11 (s) - -> C12H22O11 (aq)

The fundamental change in this reaction is the transition from the solid sate to the aqueous state.

Before proceeding, we have to understand what entropy (S) is;

Entropy is basically the degree of disorderliness of a system. A postive entropy (ΔS) means increase in disordeliness and negative entropy (ΔS) ssignifies decrease in disordeliness.

An aqueuos solution is more disordered than a solid state hence the entropy change is a positive one.
