gibbs entropy formula
The Gibbs entropy formula is a mathematical expression that measures the amount of disorder or randomness in a system. It relates the entropy of a system to the number of possible arrangements or states it can have, based on the principle of statistical mechanics. The formula is given by S = k ln W, where S is the entropy, k is Boltzmann's constant, and W is the number of accessible states of the system.
