The reaction below proceeds spontaneously at 298 K. NH3 (g) + Cl2 (g) NH4Cl (s) What is the sign of the entropy change (triangle) S S is negative because the product is less random than the reactants. S is negative because the reactants are less random than the product. S is positive because the product is less random than the reactants. S is positive because the reactants are less random than the product.

In the reaction NH3 (g) + Cl2 (g) - - > NH4Cl (s) which occurs at 298 K, the delta S is negative because the reaction occurred spontaneously and the product is less random than the reactants. Since the product is solid and the reactants are gases.
