Will this increase or decrease entropy: the reactants are solids and the products are gases AND the atoms are combined into 2 molecules in the reactants and 3 molecules in the products?

The first thing leads to a decrease in entropy; the second leads to an increase; this value would have to be researched to be determined.
Explanation: Entropy changes can be complex, depending on multiple factors. An increase in the number of particles (in this case, from 2 molecules to 3) tends to increase entropy, while a change from a more ordered solid to a less ordered gas tends to decrease entropy.
