Types of Entropy Calculations

Postby ashwathinair » Sun Feb 09, 2020 10:16 pm

I've noticed that change of entropy calculations using moles/temperature/volume etc tend to be much larger than entropy calculations using degeneracy and Boltzmann's constant - are these two types of calculations calculating entropy at different levels, and if so, what are they?

Boltzmann's equation is used for positional/residual entropy which is present in everything but is relatively small.

Nope, they are not calculating entropy at different levels I believe.
