Point i in Fig. 20-19 represents the initial state of an ideal gas at temperature T. Taking algebraic ~ signs into account, rank the entropy ~ changes that the gas undergoes as it ~ moves, successively and reversibly, from point i to points a, b, c, and d, greatest first.

Question
Four particles are in the insulated box of Fig. 20-17. What are (a) the least multiplicity, (b) the greatest multiplicity, (c) the least entropy, and (d) the greatest entropy of the four-particle system?
Solution
The first step in solving 20 problem number 48 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Four particles are in the insulated box of Fig. 20-17. What are (a) the least multiplicity, (b) the greatest multiplicity, (c) the least entropy, and (d) the greatest entropy of the four-particle system?
From the textbook chapter ENTROPY AND THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
