displaymath23

is spontaneous and exothermic. For simplicity, suppose that the reaction is carried out in an adiabatic container. What can you say (rigorously) about size and/or sign of the entropy change for the reaction?

Note: No calculations are required. The best answers to this kind of question are brief (five or six short sentences and/or simple equations should be more than enough).
