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.
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
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
Yes. Diffusion will increase the entropy.
The entropy of the universe is increasing
At high temperature the entropy increase.
The increase in entropy will depend on the physical states of the reactants and products. If the reactants are solid and the products are gaseous, there will likely be an increase in entropy due to the increase in disorder. However, if both the reactants and products are in the same state, the change in entropy may be minimal.
The entropy change in a reaction can be calculated by comparing the entropy of the products to the entropy of the reactants. Without specific entropy values provided, it is difficult to determine the exact change. However, in general, the entropy change is positive in reactions where the products have higher entropy than the reactants, indicating an increase in disorder.

Yes, hydrolysis typically involves breaking chemical bonds, which can lead to an increase in entropy due to the dispersal of energy. This increase in entropy occurs as the reactants transform into multiple products, creating a state of higher disorder in the system.
The products becoming more spread out.
The products becoming more spread out.
Delta S= Sum of Entropy(products)- Sum of Entropy(reactants.
The entropy change is increased in the given reaction. This is because there are more moles of gaseous products compared to the reactants, which leads to an increase in disorder or entropy in the system.
Yes. Diffusion will increase the entropy.
A perfectly ordered crystal at absolute zero is not apt to increase entropy, as entropy tends to increase with higher temperatures and disorder.
