    The document calculates the entropy change for the reaction 2Ca(s) + O2(g) → 2CaO(s). It finds the entropy change by subtracting the entropy of the reactants (2Ca + O2) from the entropy of the products (2CaO), using the standard entropy values provided. The entropy change is negative because the reaction goes from more disordered gaseous and solid reactants to a more ordered solid product.

    Calculation of Entropy change of a system

     ΔSSystem = SProducts – SReactants
    Q:Calculate
    2Ca(s) + O2(g)  2CaO(s)
    Given,
    [SO Ca = 41.40 J mol-1K-1]
    [SO O2 = 205 J mol-1K-1]
    [SO CaO = 39.70 J mol-1K-1]

     ΔS  = 2CaO – ( 2Ca + O2 )


    System

    = 2*39.70 – ( 2*41.40 + 205 )


    = -208.4 J mol-1K-1

    **The entropy is negative for this system because 2moles


    of solid is reacting with 1mol of oxygen gas which are
    more disordered to form CaO(s) which is more ordered**
