IMO there are two separate events as part of the overall process, and it would be helpful to consider each of them separately.

The entropy of the universe increased. That's a safe bet.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
