What is meant by entropy? Predict whether the following changes involve an increases or decreases of entropy:
(i) `Cr^(3+)(aq) + 6H_(2)O(g) to [Cr(H_(2)O_(6))]^(3+(aq))`.
(ii) Sublimation of ammonium chloride.
(iii)Crystallization of salt from brine solution.

### Step-by-Step Solution: **Definition of Entropy:** 1. **Entropy** is a measure of the degree of randomness or disorder in a system. It quantifies how much energy in a system is unavailable to do work and reflects the number of ways a system can be arranged. Higher entropy indicates greater disorder. **Analyzing the Given Changes:** **(i) Reaction: `Cr^(3+)(aq) + 6H_(2)O(g) → [Cr(H_(2)O_(6))]^(3+(aq))`** ...
