A decrease in entropy typically occurs in processes that involve the organization of matter or energy, such as the formation of ice from water or the crystallization of a substance from a solution. In these cases, particles become more ordered, resulting in a lower entropy state. Additionally, when energy is added to a system in a controlled manner, such as cooling a gas, it can lead to reduced disorder and lower entropy. However, according to the second law of thermodynamics, the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease; it can only decrease locally at the expense of increasing the overall entropy elsewhere.
Entropy, a measure of disorder in a system, typically increases according to the second law of thermodynamics. However, entropy can decrease in a localized system when energy is added or work is done on the system, as described by the equation ΔS = Q/T, where ΔS is the change in entropy, Q is the heat added, and T is the temperature. For example, in refrigeration cycles, work is done to remove heat from a cold reservoir, decreasing its entropy at the expense of increasing the entropy of the surroundings. Thus, while entropy can decrease locally, the overall entropy of the universe still increases.
The meaning is more order.
To decrease the entropy of a static body, you would need to decrease the disorder or randomness of its particles. This can be achieved by cooling the body, which can lower the thermal motion of its particles and reduce their entropy. Other methods include applying pressure to order the particles or removing impurities that contribute to disorder.
No, because the entropy of the surroundings must increase more than the decrease in the water->ice transition, thus the net change in the entropy of the universe is positive, consistent with the second law.

Only by increasing the entropy of another system.
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.
Synthesis reactions such as dehydration synthesis. For a reaction to proceed the there must be a net decrease in the Gibbs Free Energy of the system. The Gibbs Free Energy is made up of two terms: Enthalpy or Heat Content H Entropy S For a reaction in which the entropy is increasing to proceed there would have to be a sufficient release of heat content (enthalpy) such that Change in Free Energy G would be negative, ie decrease...
