Question
Chapter 17, Problem 29E
Interpretation Introduction
Introduction: Entropy is a quantitative measure of randomness of a system, which increases with a number of energetically equivalent ways of positioning the components of a system in order to reach a particular state.
Mathematically, it is shown as
Here, k = Boltzmann constant and W is the number of energetically equivalent ways to arrange the components of the system. In other words, W is the number of possible microstates in a given macrostate.
