Will entropy increased or decrease during boiling of an egg? Comment on the statement.

249.
The entropy of steam is more than that of water at its boiling point. Explain.

At the boiling point, both water and steam (water vapours) exist together and are in equilibrium. However, the entropy of steam is more because of greater randomness of the H₂O molecules in the gaseous state than in the liquid state.
