When the total amount of entropy or disorder in the Universe will it increase or decrease?
Increase.
Entropy increases when heat is added because the particles do what?
Entropy always increases.It is sometimes stated that an increase in entropy means an increase in disorder - though that is not a very accurate description.
Does entropy increase or decrease due to friction?
Entropy is a measure of disorder. Heat is a very low order form of energy. Friction produces heat energy and hence entropy tends to increase due to friction.
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.
How entropy relate to heat and temperature?
Entropy means disorderness in interatomic state. When heat is given, temp. rises and entropy increase as mobility in inner part increase. But when we cool down substance, entropy decrease as mobility slow down.

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 happens when to the entropy when a solution is made?
The entropy increases.
When salt is dissolved in water do you think the entropy of the system of salt and water increases or decreases?
Entropy will decrease.
Do natural processes tend toward order or disorder?
disorder (entropy increases)
What in entropy?
If you increase the molecules, or go from a gas to a liquid or vice versa, entropy increases.
Wich reactions would have an increase in entropy?
A gas typically increases the entropy much more than the increase in moles.
Is it true that the entropy of a system decreases over time?
false
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
