entropy is a measure of disorder
entropy increases for example from solid --> liquid
or liquid --> gas
or solid --> gas
or liquid --> aqueous
when the particles become more "free" and there are more spaces between them
that means that the entropy has increased

Wich reactions would have an increase in entropy?
A gas typically increases the entropy much more than the increase in moles.
What happens to the entropy in the reaction?
Entropy increases. In a reaction comprised of sub-reactions, some sub-reactions may show a decrease in entropy but the entire reaction will show an increase of entropy. As an example, the formation of sugar molecules by living organisms is a process that shows decrease in entropy at the expense of the loss of entropy by the sun.
What reaction would have an increased entropy?
At high temperature the entropy increase.
Would represent an increase in entropy?
thawing
Which accounts for the increase in the rate of reaction when a catalyst is added to a reaction system. Does the entropy of the reaction increase?
When two molecules react with each other they must form a transition state. The higher the energy of the transition state the less likely it is for the two molecules to react with each other. Catalysts lower the energy of the transition state. This makes it more likely for molecules to react with one another, which speeds up the overall reaction. Entropy is unrelated. Reactions that break apart molecules increase entropy. Reactions that combine molecules together diminish entropy. Both types of reactions can be sped up by catalysts.
How does entropy change in gas reactions?
Reactions that increase the moles of gas will increase in entropy.

Do chemical reactions that increase entropy tend to occur spontaneously?
Reactions that increase the randomness. Reactions that have more moles of gas on the product side than the reactant side increase entropy. Also reactions that have a positive change in spontaneity and a negative enthalpy.

How do reaction involving gases affect the entropy of a system?
Reactions involving gases can negate the entropy of a system. However, certain gases can increase the rate of entropy. Thus, some gases are considered beneficial and others negative.
Can entropy effect osmosis?
In a nutshell, yes. The water will go from a higher concentration to a lower concentration to increase the entropy of the lower concentration area. The increase in entropy of the lower concentration area would be greater than the loss of entropy of the higher concentration giving you a NET increase in total entropy.
