    I think you mean entropy

    For entropy to be positive solids should be turned into liquid or gases.

    In gases

    Moles of gaseous products > Moles of gaseous reactants

    For reaction

    1st reaction - Entropy is positive (moles of products > Reactants)

    2nd reaction - Entropy is positive (solid is turned into gas)

    3rd reaction - Entropy is negative (moles of products < reactants)

    4th reaction - Entropy is negative (moles of products < reactants)

    So you want something that is more discorded.

    So this is solids turning to liquids and liquids turning to gasses

    or 1 mole of gas turning into two moles of gas ect.

    A(s)+B(s)---->C(g)

    Solids turning to gas so more disorder, positive delta S
