Does diffusion involve a decrease in entropy?
no.
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.
When salt is dissolved in water do you think the entropy of the system of salt and water increases or decreases?
Entropy will decrease.
What the would result in a decrease in entropy?
The meaning is more order.
Did the snows entropy increase or decrease while in your hand?
Increase. The heat from your hand will melt the snow causing it to go from a low entropy solid state to a higher entropy liquid state.
Is there anyway to decrease the entropy?
Only by increasing the entropy of another system.
Does diffusion involve a decrease in entropy?
no.
Can you decrease the entropy if yes then how and if not then why?
You cannot reduce entropy because entropy increases (Second Law of Thermodynamics), if you could, we could have perpetual motion. When work is achieved energy is lost to heat. The only way to decrease the entropy of a system is to increase the entropy of another system.

What results in decrease in entropy?
Water Freezing
What result in a decrease in entropy?
water freezing
Where an decrease in thermal energy is occurring?
entropy
When a student cleans their dorm room the entropy of the system must decrease How is this NOT a violation of the second law of thermodynamics?
If you include the student in the system, the entropy will increase, not decrease.
Would result in a decrease in entropy?
water freezing
When you straighten up your work space do you increase or decrease the entropy of your work space?
decrease
When salt is dissolved in water do you think the entropy of the system of salt and water increases or decreases?
Entropy will decrease.
Did the ice's entropy increase or decrease over time?
increased
