Which reaction occurs with the greater increase in entropy? Explain your reasoning. 1. H2 (g)+ Cl2 (8)→ 2 HC1(g) 2. 2 HgO(s)→ 2 Hg(1)+ O2(g) The first reaction has mol of reactants in the gas phase and mol of products in the gas phase. The second reaction has mol of reactants in the gas phase and mol of products in the gas phase. Since the number of moles in the gas phase for the first reaction and for the second reaction, the reaction occurs with the greater increase in entropy.
