Detailed Solution

It is known that,

ΔSreaction 0=ΣΔS0P roduct ΣΔS0 Reactant 

On comparing it with standard molar entropies for substance, we get,

Gas Standard molar entropy > Liquids standard molar entropy

Liquid's standard molar entropy > Solids standard molar entropy.

Thus, reaction given in Q and R have positive entropy change.
