Two identical boxes each contain 1,000,000 molecules. In box A, 750,000 molecules happen to be in the left half the box while 250,000 are in the right half. In box B. 499,900 molecules happen to be in the left half the box while 500,100 are in the right half. At this instant of time, 1. The entropy of box A is smaller than the entropy of box B. 2. The entropy of box A is equal to the entropy of box B. 3. The entropy of box A is larger than the entropy of box B.
