Explanation:

Entropy -

In a system, the randomness is measured by the term entropy .

Randomness basically refers as a form of energy that can not be used for any work.

The change in entropy is given by amount heat per change in temperature.

When solid is converted to gas entropy increases,

As the molecules in solid state are tightly packed and has more force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to gas, the force of attraction between the molecule decreases and hence entropy increases.

So,

The particles of the substance , if are tightly held by strong force of attraction will decrease the entropy ,

And

If the particles are loosely held , the entropy will increase .

If in a reaction , more number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0When liquid is converted to solid entropy decreases,

As the molecules in liquid state are loosely packed and has less force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to solid, the force of attraction between the molecule increases and hence entropy decreases.

If in a reaction , less number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , entropy will decrease , i.e. Δ°S < 0

From the question ,

( a ) NH₃(g) + 5 O₂(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant - 1 + 5 = 6

Product - 4 + 6 = 10 ,

Hence ,

More number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , So ,

entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0

( b ) CH₄(g) + 2 O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant - 1 + 2 = 3

Product - 1 + 2 = 3 ,

Since ,

Both the side the value of gaseous atoms are , hence , Δ°S = 0 .

( c ) CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant = 0

Product - 0 + 1 = 1 ,

Since ,

Hence ,

More number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , So ,

entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0

Answer from: Quest

the reaction mixture contains some ammonia, plus a lot of unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen. the mixture is cooled and compressed, causing the ammonia gas to condense into a liquid. the liquefied ammonia is separated and removed. the unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are then recycled back into the reactor .

Answer from: Quest

Most likely a is the answer - because you generate 38 atp's but also consume an atp. each atp gives approx. less than 4 kcal so probably a is the closest answer.
