Answer #1

The entropy of the reaction is given as

Entropy (rxn) = Entropy(Products) - Entropy(reactants)

Entropy(Products) = Entropy(CaO) + Entropy(CO2)

=> 39.7 + 213.6 [data taken from net]

=> 253.3 J/K mol

Entropy (Reactants) = Entropy(CaCO3)

=>92.9 J/K mol

Net Entropy of Reaction = 253.3 - 92.9 = 160.4 J/K mol
