Answer:
2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)


NH_4I(s)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+HI(g)


2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)

Step-by-step explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system.

A system has positive value of entropy if the disorder increases and a system has negative value of entropy if the disorder decreases.

1.
N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants are changing to 2 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is decreasing and the entropy is negative

2.
2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

As 9 moles of gaseous reactants are changing to 10 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive.

3.
NH_4I(s)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+HI(g)

As 1 mole of solid reactants is changing to 2 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive.

4.
2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changing to 5 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive

5.
2NO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(l)

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changing to 1 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is decreasing and the entropy is negative.
