Entropy Change is the measure of the randomness of the thermodynamic system. The entropy change for the reaction is -49.3 J/K.
Entropy change is the ratio of the heat transfer of the system to the absolute temperature of the system.
The entropy of nickel = 182.1 J/mol. K
The entropy of oxygen = 205.0 J/mol. K
The entropy of nickel oxide = 37.99 J/mol. K
Entropy change is calculated as:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\Delta \rm S &= 2(37.99)-2(182.1)-205\\\\&= 75.98 - 364.2 - 205\\\\&= -493.22 \end{aligned}[/tex]
Therefore, -49.3 J/K is the entropy change.
