The diagram above represents the gas-phase reaction of NO2(g) to form N2O4(g) at a certain temperature. Based on the diagram, which of the following best predicts and explains the sign of the entropy change for the reaction, ΔS°rxn?
A ΔS°rxn is negative because the number of N2O4 molecules increases as the reaction proceeds.
B ΔS°rxn is negative because the number of molecules in the gas phase decreases as the reaction proceeds.
C ΔS°rxn is positive because the number of N2O4 molecules increases as the reaction proceeds.
D ΔS°rxn is positive because the number of molecules in the gas phase decreases as the reaction proceeds.
