Hi,
I've not covered yet the Second's Law of thermodynamics so I don't understand it well. A friend of mine talked to me about Maxwell's demon and now I have the following question :
Imagine a planet such that its escape velocity is about Earth's one, but without any atmosphere. Now imagine I have a composed gas (hydrogen+argon) and I free it at ground level. After some time all the hydrogen would leave out the planet and the argon would remain on the planet. So without any intervention the 2 gases are separated. How has the entropy increased?
Thank you.

There's no conflict here- both gases expand, and the entropy of the system (planet+ gases) is proportional to the volume occupied.

Ah ok!
I thought that by separating the 2 gases the entropy would have decreased. Anyway I'll be soon studying the second law of thermodynamics so I guess I will understand what is entropy and understand better the example I gave here.
Thank you for the answer. (so there's no ambiguity, no paradox nor anything wrong with the situation described above).
