Randall D. Knight β The Micro/Macro Connection: Problem Problem_71
A thin partition divides a container of volume \(V\) into two parts. One side contains \(n_A\) moles of gas A in a fraction \(f_A\) of the container; that is, \(V_A = f_A V\). The other side contains \(n_B\) moles of a different gas B at the same temperature in a fraction \(f_B\) of the container. The partition is removed, allowing the gases to mix. Find an expression for the change of entropy. This is called the entropy of mixing.
