How many microstates must there be to calculate entropy using Boltzmann's formula?

  • At least 10

  • At least 100

  • Just 1

  • Many

Answer

Many microstates are required to calculate entropy using Boltzmann's formula because entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system. The more microstates a system has, the more disordered it is and the higher its entropy.
