Hydrogen Peroxide slowly decomposing into water and oxygen increases the entropy of the universe. Any reaction of a system always increases the degree of the orderliness of the universe. Decomposition is one of the best examples of increasing the entropy. This is when substance is broken down further to elements or other compounds.
