Claude Shannon defined this concept for source coding in information theory, and an intensive definition of this property for gases inspired Gibbs's paradox. Defined macroscopically as Boltzmann's constant times the natural log of the microstate number, omega, its change often equals change in heat over temperature, and it represents thermal energy unavailable to perform work. This state function tends only to increase by the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Symbolized S, for 10 points, name this t
