Explanation / Answer

Entropy is a measure of the amount of energy wasted in the reaction

In a process, generally energy is produced for a feasible reaction but all the energy cannot be converted for performing work and some energy will be wasted in the form of heat

A negative entropy implies that the wasted energy is again converted back to work, leading to the reduction in entropy

From table, the entropy of CO3(2-) is negative, reason: since CO2 is more stable because of smaller size of carbon atom it can handle 2 oxygen atoms but the third oxygen atoms provide repulsion leading to lower stability and hence negative entropy
