Re: Is it true that when you mix two volumes of identical gas, there is no entropy change?
In my understanding, entropy is number of states the system can be in.
I did not know about the significance of knowing the number of
molecules. If you could elaborate on the importance of information
(negentropy) I would highly appreciate it.
