    b) Delta S < 0

    Explanation:

    The change in the entropy (ΔS) is related to the change in the number of gaseous moles of the reaction: Δn (g) = n (g, products) - n (g, reactants).

    If Δn (g) > 0, the entropy increases (ΔS > 0). If Δn (g) < 0, the entropy decreases (ΔS < 0). If Δn (g) = 0, there is little or no change in the entropy

    Let's consider the following equation.

    2 H₂S (g) + 3 O₂ (g) → 2 H₂O (g)

    Δn (g) = 2 - 5 = - 3. Since Δn (g) < 0, the entropy decreases and ΔS < 0.
