Question: Without doing a calculation, predict whether the entropy change will be positive or negative when each of the following reactions occurs in the direction it

Without doing a calculation, predict whether the entropy change will be positive or negative when each of the following reactions occurs in the direction it is written.
(a) CH3OH(ℓ) + 3/2 O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g)
(b) Br2(ℓ) + H2(g) → 2 HBr(g)
(c) Na(s) + 1/2 F2(g) → NaF(s)
(d) CO(g) + 2 H2(g) → CH3OH(ℓ)
(e) 2 NH3(g) → N2(g) + 3 H2(g)
