Statistical Entropy |
|
Statistical Entropy is the application of probability theory to the principle of entropy showing that entropy is a measure of the amount of disorder in a system. It is based on the probability of molecular positions. |

|
The number of possible ways for a given condition to occur called equivalent microstates is denoted as W. |
|
Entropy is denoted as S. |
|
k is the Boltzmann Constant = 1.38 X 10-23 JL-1 |
S = k ln W |
|
This shows that entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system. |
