Changes in this quantity due to mixing are the concern of the Gibbs paradox
Changes in this quantity due to mixing are the concern of the Gibbs paradox. Given by Boltzmann's constant times the log of the number of microstates, its changes may equal heat divided by temperature. This state function is zero in a perfect (*) crystal at 0 Kelvin and it cannot decrease in isolated systems, by the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Denoted S, for 10 points, name this quantity measuring a system's disorder.
