Thank you for the example. It expains how you can count the microstates in another case, but it really doesn't say anything about the problem I stated (mixing gases at constant volume and temperature). Could someone please explain this?

Homework Statement Explain why the number of microstates W in Boltzmanns principle, is W = ƩNi! / ∏Ni! when i ideal gasses are mixed at constant volume and temperature. Ni is the number of particles of component i. Homework Equations S=klnW , where W is the number of microstates...

I'm pretty shure they're both the same.
