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
System A of three particles and system B of five particles are in insulated boxes like that in Fig. 20-17. What is the least multiplicity VV of (a) system A and (b) system B? What is the greatest mUltiplicity VV of (c) A and (d) B? What is the greatest entropy of (e) A and (f) B?
Solution
The first step in solving 20 problem number 75 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: System A of three particles and system B of five particles are in insulated boxes like that in Fig. 20-17. What is the least multiplicity VV of (a) system A and (b) system B? What is the greatest mUltiplicity VV of (c) A and (d) B? What is the greatest entropy of (e) A and (f) B?
From the textbook chapter ENTROPY AND THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
