The products becoming more spread out.
The third law of thermodynamics states that as you tend towards absolute 0, entropy tends towards 0.
This works both ways. As you tend towards higher temperatures, you tend towards a higher entropy.
This is only a brief understanding. To learn more about it in depth there is a good source of info at the related link at the foot of the page.
Entropy is the physical measurement of the statistical probability of disorder. Heat is the energy transfer between systems. In order for heat transfer, atoms or molecules become excited. Since an excited state of jumbling, interacting constituents is more disorderly, any chemical reaction that produces heat will increase the entropy of the universe.
(Explanation): remember entropy=chaos. So, if the products spread out physically, then there is chaos because the location of the products is randomized.
Because the particles have more random movements.
At high temperature the entropy increase.

The products becoming more ordered than the reactants

CO(g)+3H2(g)->CH4(g)+H2O(g)
CO(g)+3H2(g)->CH4(g)+H2O(g)
A gas typically increases the entropy much more than the increase in moles.
thawing
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.
