But I could not qualify as a physicist in any reasonable way, and so IYes. I believe you're saying it's hard to imagine a gas of
feel quite comfortable in saying that an ideal gas of distinguishable
particles does not fit my prejudiced perception of a possible entity,
so that I do not feel any obligation to attempt to understand the
development of a related thesis.
Hope this was a help? :-)
distinguishable particles.
True enough for a gas composed of one mole of particles.
But now make it say 5000 atoms (I still need N large enough for
Stirling to be valid and factors of 1 to be negligible) which you're
simulating in a program. Since it's all classical, you're keeping
track of each particle one by one.
What will your computer program calculate for the equilibrated
entropy and why? Express your answer in terms of N,T,V.
Does this scenario make the situation more physically concrete? -Carl
