For the reaction, N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g)
compute the entropy change (in J/K/mol) for the process and comment on the sign of the property.

A. ΔS° = -37.65 J/K/mol; negative sign indicates that there is a decrease in the gaseous species during the reaction

B. ΔS° = -198.7 J/K/mol; negative sign indicates that there is a decrease in the gaseous species during the reaction

C. ΔS° = -31.25 J/K/mol; negative sign indicates that there is a decrease in the gaseous species during the reaction

D. ΔS° = +31.25 J/K/mol; positive sign indicates that the reaction is spontaneous
