Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

(A – p, r, s) ; (B – r, s) ; (C – t) ; (D – p, q, t)

CO 2 (s) ⎯→ CO 2 (g)

It is phase transition. The process is endothermic (sublimation).

Gas is produced, so entropy increases.

On heating CaCO 3 decomposes. So, process is endothermic.

The entropy increases as gaseous product is formed.

2H ⎯→ H 2 (g)

Entropy decreases as number of gaseous particles decreases.

It is phase transition.

White and red P are allotopes.

Red P is more stable than white. So Δ H is – ve.
