Okay, one more time on this topic. Maybe now I'm getting
somewhere. We'll see.
Consider the system to be a glass of milk at room
ie. a colloid.the
(1) Would you agree that this system could be described as an
ideal gas of distinguishable particles?
(2) If so, what is a formula for its entropy? (Consider only
the configurational entropy of the translational states of
suspended fat globules.) Write your answer in terms of V,U,N
where U = 1.5 NkT. If V, U, and N are all doubled, does S
double?
