Which forward reaction shows an increase in entropy (disorder)?explain

A.H2(g) + CuO (s) --> H2O(l) + Cu(s)
B.HCl(g) + NH3(g) --> NH4Cl(s)
C.CaCO3(s) -> CaO(s) + CO2g)
D.H2O(g) + O2(g) --> 2H2O)

Step-by-step explanation:

Entropy also increases when solid reactants form liquid products. Entropy increases when a substance is broken up into multiple parts. The process of dissolving increases entropy because the solute particles become separated from one another when a solution is formed. Entropy increases as temperature increases. S = entropy

k_{b} = Boltzmann constant

\ln = natural logarithm

\Omega = number of microscopic configurations
