Solution
The correct answer is B. An increase in the number of gas molecules results in an increase in entropy.
Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system. In a gas reaction, when the number of gas molecules increases, the disorder or randomness of the system also increases, leading to an increase in entropy. This is because there are more possible arrangements and positions for the molecules, which increases the entropy.
