What is the value for ∆Soreaction for the following reaction, given the standard entropy values? 2 Al (s) + 3Cl2(g) 2AlCl3(s)

a.-503 J/K

b.+503 J/K

c.-140 J/K

d.+140 J/K

dSrxn = (n*dSproducts) - (n*dSreactants)

To find the value for ΔSoreaction, which is the standard entropy change for the reaction, you need to use the standard entropy values (ΔS) for the reactants and products.

The standard entropy value for a substance is given in units of J/(mol·K).

Here are the standard entropy values for the reactants and product:

ΔSorxn = (2 mol AlCl3 x ΔS°(AlCl3)) - (2 mol Al x ΔS°(Al) + 3 mol Cl2 x ΔS°(Cl2))

Using the provided options:

a) -503 J/K
b) +503 J/K
c) -140 J/K
d) +140 J/K

You need to calculate the standard entropy values for Al, Cl2, and AlCl3 (ΔS°(Al), ΔS°(Cl2), and ΔS°(AlCl3)) and substitute these values into the equation to find ΔSorxn. The option that gives you the calculated value is the correct answer.

Note: For this answer, I am assuming that you have access to the standard entropy values for Al, Cl2, and AlCl3. These values can be found in various thermodynamic databases or reference books.
