The incorrect statement(s) among the following statements is/are -

(i) When liquid crystallizes into a solid, entropy increases.
(ii) When the temperature of a crystalline solid is raised from 0 K to 115 K then entropy increases.
(iii) 2 NaHCO3 (s) →Na2CO(s) +CO2(g)+H2O(g); Entropy  increases.
(iv) H2(g)→2H(g) ; Entropy  decreases.
