Answer:

Option 2

In process I & II entropy of the system increases proceed from left to right.

Explanation:

Entropy is an extensive property of the system. It means it depends on the amount or quantity of the system

In case for process 1

since one mole sodium chloride dissolve in water and it dissociate into two ions i.e. Na⁺ and Cl⁻

For process 2

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Change in gaseous moles = (Product moles - reactant moles)

                                 ⇒ Δng = 1

Since  Δng > 0 it means randomness increases of the system from left to right. So, ΔS > 0
