Hi all.
About Gibbs' paradox (with the mixture entropy for ideal gases): Is the paradox a Thermodynamic paradox?
Because what's bothering me is that in Thermodynamics, the entropy is determined up to a "constant", allegedly, [tex]\[
S_0
\]
[/tex], which in my opinion is dependent of [tex]\[
N
\]
[/tex]. And so there shouldn't be a paradox. (Because we would have to chose the functional dependence as [tex]\[
S_0 \left( N \right) = - Nk_B \ln \left( N \right) + \tilde S_0
\]
[/tex])
Am I right? Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
