There are many examples in the chemical world of changes in entropy. Phase transitions are one obvious example. When a substance makes a transition from the liquid state to the gaseous state, the particles have many more possible arrangements, because they are no longer confined to a specified volume in which they are close to each other; gas particles can move freely throughout their container. Vaporization represents an increase in entropy. In the opposite direction, a liquid loses entropy when it freezes to a solid. Because solids have very ordered structures, there are fewer possible arrangements of particles that would result in the properties associated with a solid.
Elaine is getting ready for a dinner party she is having later. She needs to make some pasta as well as freeze some water. She will be using a red bowl and a blue bowl for these tasks. In order to make the pasta, she first needs to bring the blue bowl of water to a boil. While she is waiting for that water to boil she pours some water into the red bowl and places it into the freezer. She then grabs a newspaper and waits until she can continue her preparations.

The water in which color bowl is losing entropy?
