Question
It is assumed that all of these entities are equally probable in statistical mechanics using the principle of indifference, for 10 points each:
[10m] Identify these configurations of a given thermodynamic system, usually symbolized by a capital omega.
ANSWER: microstates
[10e] This quantity is equal to Boltzmann’s constant times the log of the number of microstates. This quantity increases over time according to the second law of thermodynamics, and it roughly measures the amount of disorder in a system.
ANSWER: entropy
[10h] Entropy seems to decrease when mixing two ideal gasses in the Gibbs paradox, which is resolved by considering this property between the particles and dividing the number of microstates of each gas by N-factorial.
ANSWER: indistinguishability [or indistinguishable]
