for the following question:
Assuming that a silver-gold alloy is a random mixture of gold and silver atoms, calculate the increase in entropy when 10 g of gold are mixed with 20 g of silver to from a homogeneous alloy. The gram atomic weights of Au and Ag are, respectively, 198 and 107.9.
my problem:
when you are calculating entropy, why do you only need to calculate the configurational entropy and not the thermal entropy?
