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 reaction would have an increased entropy?
At high temperature the entropy increase.
How does the entropy change in the reaction 2C3H6 (g) plus 9O (g) 6CO2(g)?
The entropy increase in this reaction.
Does a combustion have a negative entropy or positive entropy?
A combustion reaction typically results in an increase in entropy due to the increase in the number of gaseous molecules formed during the reaction, leading to more disorder in the system. Therefore, combustion generally has a positive entropy change.
How does the entropy change in the reaction 2C3H6 902 -- 6C)2 plus 6 H2O?
The entropy increases:)
What does entropy of a reaction describe?
The amount of randomness in the system
