One estimate for this quantity, equal to 10.5 times the ideal gas constant, breaks down for liquids with strong intermolecular forces, thus deviating from Trouton's rule. In one formulation, this quantity is proportional to the sum of the products of microstate probabilities
One estimate for this quantity, equal to 10.5 times the ideal gas constant, breaks down for liquids with strong intermolecular forces, thus deviating from Trouton's rule. In one formulation, this quantity is proportional to the sum of the products of microstate probabilities and their respective natural logs. The change in this quantity can also be calculated as change in (*) heat divided by temperature. For an isolated system, this never-decreasing property has been challenged by Maxwell's Demon, but otherwise holds true according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. For ten points, name this property that measures the disorder in a system.
