When four coins are flipped, there are six possible cases in which two are heads and two are tails which are shown below.
Similarly, when four coins are flipped, there are three possible cases in which one is head and three are tails which are shown below.
Substitute the above values in equation (1). Therefore, the entropy for the first case is calculated as shown below.
Similarly, the entropy for the second case is calculated as shown below.
Therefore, the first case has a higher entropy.

Answer to Problem 8.18P
The number of moles is higher in the second case which means its entropy is also higher. Due to the directly proportional relation between the number of moles and entropy.
Explanation of Solution
Entropy and the number of moles are directly proportional to each other. If the number of moles increases on the product side. Then the entropy of the reaction increases. In the given cases, the number of moles is higher in the second case that is
Entropy and the number of moles are directly proportional to each other. The number of moles is higher in the second case which means its entropy is also higher.
