Predict and justify the sign of ΔS° for the reaction: HgO(s) ⇒ Hg(l) + ¹/2 O₂(g) ΔG = 128 kJ/mol A) ΔS is positive because AG is positive B) ΔS is negative because AG is positive C) ΔS is positive because the products have more moles of gas than the reactants D) ΔS is negative because the products have more moles of gas than the reactants
