A spontaneous reaction favours the product formation and increases the entropy of the isolated system. The sign of the entropy change will be negative as the product formation is less random.
Entropy is the degree of the disorder or randomness that occurs in the system that lacks available energy and cannot convert the mechanical energy or work.
The entropy of the reaction will be negative as the reactants are present in the gaseous state and the product formed is solid. The product formation was spontaneous and less random.
Therefore, option a. entropy will be negative as product formation is less random.
