You have 10 balls which are initially all on the left half of a box. A partition separating the two halves is removed, the box is shaken, and afterward 4 balls are in the left half and 6 are in the right half. What is the change in entropy, i.e. final minus initial? Hint: 2 miN-m 7.6 x 10-23 J/K 74x10-23 J/K 1.6x10-21 J/K 3.5x 1021 J/K 6.6 x 10-23 J/K

Hint: =
m!(N-m)!
7.6 x 10:23 J/K
7.4x10-23 J/K
1.6 x 10-21 J/K
3.5 x 1021 J/K
