1. Show that, when two different gases A and B of volume V and Vg and with N and NR molecules respectively are mixed together at constant temperature to form a volume VA+VB, there is an increase in the total entropy given by the mixing term k[(NA+NB) log(VA+V½)– NA log VA-NB log VB] Hence deduce that, when VA = V and NA = NB = N, the mixing term is 2Nk log 2.

Question

1. Show that, when two different gases A and B of volume V
and Vg and with NA and Ng molecules respectively are mixed
together at constant temperature to form a volume VA+ VB,
there is an increase in the total entropy given by the mixing term
k[(NA+NB) log(VA+V½)– NA log VA-NB log VB]
Hence deduce that, when VA = V and NA = NB = N, the mixing
term is 2Nk log 2.
