Total entropy ALWAYS increases; not just in reactants. The details are a bit complicated, but roughly, the increase in entropy is a result of the laws of statistics.

What has the reactions would have an increase in entropy?
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
Does crystallisation increase or decrease entropy?
Entropy is the tendency of the universe to become more disorganized. Photosynthesis decreases entropy because it takes a larger number of reactants and converts them into a more organized form of energy, where there are less products than reactants. 6 H2O + 6 CO2 ---> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Does diffusion increase the entropy of a solution?
Yes. Diffusion will increase the entropy.
What does the second law of thermodynamic say about entropy?
The entropy of the universe is increasing
What reaction would have an increased entropy?
At high temperature the entropy increase.

What would cause entropy to increase in reaction?
The products becoming more spread out.
What is the formula to calculate deltaS?
Delta S= Sum of Entropy(products)- Sum of Entropy(reactants.
What would represent an increase in entropy?
A change of state from solid to liquid, or liquid to gas, or directly solid to gas., all indicate an increase in entropy. Also an increase in moles from reactants to products. The Classic example being the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate CaCO3(s) ==Heat==> CaO(s) + CO2(g) You have a gas liberated from a solid, so an increase in entropy. You also have one mole reactant increasing to two moles of product, so again an increase in entropy.
What is H in the equation G H TS?
The change in entropy between products and reactants in a reaction
Does diffusion increase the entropy of a solution?
Yes. Diffusion will increase the entropy.
What does the second law of thermodynamic say about entropy?
The entropy of the universe is increasing
What is S in the equation G = H - TS?
The change in entropy between products and reactants in a reaction ap3x answer
What happens when to the entropy when a solution is made?
The entropy increases.
How does entropy change in gas reactions?
Reactions that increase the moles of gas will increase in entropy.
According to the second law of thermodynamics does entropy increase in a cold system?
That depends on what you mean by "cold" system. Entropy in any system can do one of three things: increase, decrease, or remain constant. If the system is closed, then entropy will only ever increase. If the system is open, entropy within it can do any of the three, provided there is a corresponding change in entropy outside the system (energy must come from or go to somewhere to effect an entropy change). The absolute amount of energy in the system makes no difference to the entropy of it. It is whether you have an open or closed system that counts.
