    The only reaction there that has a negative delta S is H2O (l) going to H2 (s). That is because liquids have more entropy than solids therefore the change is negative since you are going from a higher state of entropy to a lower state of entropy. However, I don't know if that reaction is possible. For one, the oxygen disappears and two, liquid hydrogen is really hard to make. I don't think a reaction can produce it.
