Now, let's use this property of logarithms to learn something about the number of microstates available to a molecular system. The absolute entropy of a system is related to the number of microstates available to it via Boltzmann's formula S = kB In W. If a system containing one mole of an ideal gas has an entropy of 167.7 J/K, how many microstates does it have? Report the order of W, as we have defined it above, and you should use scientific notation, 1.23E45, and report 3 (three) significant figures.
Equations 6.92 and 6.93 (See attached) for the entropy and chemical potential involve the logarithm of the quantity V Zint!N vQ. Is this logarithm normally positive or negative? Plug in some numbers for an ordinary gas and discuss.
2.2 Consider a reversible process that takes an ideal gas from an initial state a to a final equilibrium state b. Show that the change in entropy of the gas is given by: AS = nC, In ()+nR In () CL
