State sign of delta s for the process and correct prediction

Reference no: EM13544102

Without consulting entropy tables, predict the sign of Delta S for the following process and choose the correct reasoning for your prediction: N2(g, 10 atm) ----> N2(g, 1 atm). The mass of N2 remains constant.

A) positive; there is an increase in the number of gas molecules

B) positive; the gas expands into a larger volume

C) negative; the gas is compressed into a smaller volume

D) negative; the gas expands into a larger volume.

E) negative; there is a decrease in the number of gas molecules
