So increase in entropy comes about by melting(thawing) or boiling .
When any substance change from solid to liquif or gas, or liquid to gas it gains entropy.

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.
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.
What reaction would have an increase in entropy?
At high temperature the entropy increase.
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.
Would represent an increase in entropy?

What reaction would have an increased entropy?
At high temperature the entropy increase.
Wich reactions would have an increase in entropy?
A gas typically increases the entropy much more than the increase in moles.

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 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.
What is requirement that total entropy increase been violated?
No method is known by which the increase of entropy can be violated.
What happens to entropy when energy is transformed?
There is always an increase in the entropy of the universe.
