Using the lattice QCD equation of state for an isentropically expanding fireball we follow the evolution of the effective number of particles in an ideal gas pV/T. This number reduces roughly to its third around the crossover temperature, which helps to circumvent the entropy obstacle inherent in quark coalescence models of the hadronization.
