Question

This quantity equals the negative partial derivative of the grand potential with respect to temperature. Ignoring the indistinguishability of particles leads to a non-extensive form of this quantity in the Gibbs paradox. Like temperature, the Carnot cycle contains two steps in which this quantity is constant. (10[1])This quantity was defined as proportional to the natural logarithm of the number of microstates (10[1])by Ludwig (10[1])Boltzmann. (10[1])The (10[1])“arrow of time” is defined because this quantity is (10[1])non-decreasing for isolated systems by the Second Law of Thermodynamics. (10[2])For 10 points, name this quantity that is informally the amount of disorder in a system. ■END■ (10[1])
