Two moles of an ideal gas X and two moles of an ideal gas Y , initially at the same temperature and pressure, are mixed under isothermal-isobaric condition. The entropy change on mixing is ____ $\mathrm{JK}^{-1}$. (Upto one decimal place, Use $\mathrm{R}=8.31 \mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$ )
Answer
SELF-PRACTICE — the source book printed no answer.

Nothing is invented here, so this question has no answer on record.

Explanation
Answer: 23.0 J K⁻¹ — ΔS_mix = −nR Σx ln x = 4 × 8.31 × ln 2 = 23.04 J K⁻¹.
