For the following chemical reaction, predict the sign of the change in entropy \( (\Delta S) \) \[ 6 \mathrm{Cl}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+2 \mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3(\mathrm{~s})} \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{FeCl}_{3(\mathrm{~s})}+3 \mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \] a. \( \Delta S<0 \) b. Not enough information c. \( \Delta \mathrm{S}>0 \) d. \( \Delta S=0 \)

Answer.. Step 1 Entropy is a measure of the randomness of the system. The entropy change in a chemical reaction can be calculated by measuring the num
