Math Problem Statement
A three-state system has three different macrostates that it can be in. The multiplicity of state 1 is twice that of state 2, and four times the multiplicity of state 3: Ω1 = 2Ω2, and Ω1 = 4Ω2. The entropy of state 1 is 20 J/mol x k . What is the entropy of state 3 (in units of J/K)? (the answer is not 20)
