How does the entropy change in the reaction 2C_3H_6(g) + 9O_2(g) -> 6CO_2(g) + 6H_2O(g)2C3H6(g)+9O2(g)6CO2(g)+6H2O(g)?

Would you not expect the entropy to increase?

Explanation:

You has 12*mol12mol of gaseous products, and 11*mol11mol of gaseous reactants. DeltaS^@, which could certainly be approached quantitiatively given S^@ for products and reactants, would certainly be POSITIVE.
