To determine which of the given reactions is spontaneous based on entropy change, we will analyze both reactions step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the reactions - **Reaction A:** \((NH_4)_2CO_3(s) \rightarrow 2NH_3(g) + CO_2(g) + H_2O(l)\) - **Reaction B:** \(NH_3(g) + H_2S(g) \rightarrow NH_4HS(s)\) ### Step 2: Analyze the states of matter - In **Reaction A**, we start with a solid reactant \((NH_4)_2CO_3\) and produce 2 moles of gaseous ammonia \((NH_3)\), 1 mole of gaseous carbon dioxide \((CO_2)\), and 1 mole of liquid water \((H_2O)\). ...
