Answer:

∆H is negative

∆S is negative

Step-by-step explanation:

The condensation of CS2 implies a phase change from gaseous state to liquid state. The energy of the gaseous particles is greater than that of the liquid particles hence energy is given out when a substance changes from gaseous state to liquid state hence the process is exothermic and ∆H is negative.

Changing from gaseous state to liquid states leads to a decrease in entropy hence ∆S is negative. Liquid particles are more orderly than particles of a gas.
