Entropy

[PeterPoPS]

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
... Show that the entropy of the system in the microcanonical ensemble is

W = \frac{N!}{n!(N-n)!}3^n

and obtain an expression for the temperature of the system. ...
N = number of molecules
n = number of molecules in orthostate

2. Relevant equations


3. The attempt at a solution
This question makes no sense, right? Because it says the entropy is W which is just a number, and entropy is in the units Joule/Kelvin

[Dick]

It should probably be reworded. But entropy is defined as k_b*log(S) where S is the number of states corresponding to a given macroscopic state. The interesting quantity in the entropy is S and it looks like that's what they want you to find.
