1. (5 points) In class we discussed a simple, isolated system, of four gas particles con- strained to a two-bulb system similar to that pictured below. In terms of statistical entropy, why would a system of four particles spontaneously progress from all four par- ticles in the left chamber (as shown in figure below) toward a state with two particles in each bulb? You may assume that the energy, volume, and number of particles in the system remains constant. In your explanation you may use equations, words, or both. Figure 1: Adapted from chem.libretexts.org
