CO2(g) + C(s) --> 2CO(g)
The question is asking if entropy change is positive or negative.
I know that going from 1 mol of gas to 2 moles of gas is more disorder, and therefore an increase in entropy. But how come the solid is not included in this question? Isn't going from 1 mol of solid to 0 mol of solid (in the products) a decrease (negative) entropy?
The answer is +S, but I was wondering why the solid was not included.
