Does the following reaction show an increase or decrease in entropy? N2(g) + 3 H2(g) ---> 2 NH3(g)
A reduction of entropy.
It's generally the case that a reaction with a lower concentration of gaseous products than gaseous reactants will result in a decrease in entropy, and vice versa. In this case, it's fortunate that the enthalpy change is exothermic, as otherwise ammonia production from nitrogen and hydrogen would be impossible.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
