Calculate the difference in entropy
between the two macrostates.

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 26 possible distributions of 9 units of energy among 6 particles, and if those particles are assumed to be distinguishable, there are 2002 different specific configurations of particles. In Blatt's language, there are 26 macrostates and 2002 microstates.
