JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2018 - 16th April Morning Slot - No. 9)

For which of the following processes, $$\Delta $$S is negative ?
H2(g) $$ \to $$ 2H(g)
N2(g, 1 atm) $$ \to $$ N2(g, 5 atm)
C(diamond) $$ \to $$ C(graphite)
N2(g, 273 K) $$ \to $$ N2(g, 300 K)

Explanation

N2(g, 1 atom) $$\buildrel \, \over \longrightarrow $$ N2(g, 5 atom)

Here pressure increases. When pressure increases then the molecules of will come closer and intermoleculer distance decreases, so entropy will also decreases and $$\Delta S\, < \,0$$.
