ΔS° = ΣnS°(products) - ΣmS°(reactants)
where ΔS° is the standard entropy change, n is the stoichiometric coefficient of each product, m is the stoichiometric coefficient of each reactant, and S° is the standard entropy of each species.
For the given reaction, the standard entropy change is:
ΔS° = [3S°(O2(g))] - [2S°(O3(g))]
Using the standard entropy values for O2(g) (205.1 J/mol·K) and O3(g) (238.9 J/mol·K), we can calculate the entropy change:
ΔS° = [3 × 205.1 J/mol·K] - [2 × 238.9 J/mol·K] = -67.5 J/mol·K
The negative value of ΔS° indicates that the entropy of the system decreases as the reaction proceeds. This means that the reaction leads to a more ordered arrangement of molecules, with fewer possible microstates.
