You have 2 matching volumes of the same ideal gas separated by a partition. The gas in both volumes is subject to standard temperature and pressure.
What is the change in entropy of this system if the partition is then removed?

I think the answer is Nkln(4) or nRln(4) or is this a test of conceptual understanding and the answer just zero?

As I understand it mixing different ideal gases.
ΔS1=Nkln((vf)/vi) ΔS2=Nkln((vf)/vi) and ΔS=ΔS1+ΔS2 the answer should be ΔS=Nkln(4) then. It is as a mixing of any 2 different ideal gases would be. The fact that they are the same has no bearing?
