A) the Reaction Is Expected to Be Exothermic

Question 17

Multiple Choice

Consider the dissociation reaction of the acid HF. $Consider the dissociation reaction of the acid HF. Why is \Delta S negative? A) The reaction is expected to be exothermic, and \Delta S thus should be negative. B) The reaction is expected to be endothermic, and thus \Delta S should be negative. C) Each HF molecule produces two ions when it dissociates. D) The ions are hydrated. E) none of these$ Why is $\Delta$ S negative?
