Question
A thought experiment by this physicist involves the area of a 6N-dimensional hypercylinder in the derivation of the extensive Sackur–Tetrode equation. Prior to Shannon, this physicist generalized Boltzmann’s definition of entropy as proportional to the sum over all microstates i of [read slowly] “p-sub-i times the natural log of p-sub-i.” Failing to consider the indistinguishability of mixed gases leads to this physicist’s namesake paradox. The number of degrees of freedom equals the number of components minus the number of phases plus two by this physicist’s “phase rule.” The change in a quantity named for this physicist equals negative RT times the natural log of the equilibrium constant. For 10 points, enthalpy minus temperature times entropy is what American physicist’s namesake “free energy?” ■END■
