A box contains N molecules. Consider two configurations:

Chapter , Problem 71

(choose chapter or problem)

A box contains N molecules. Consider two configurations: configuration A with an equal division of the molecules between the two halves of the box, and configuration B with 60.0% of the molecules in the left half of the box and 40.0% in the right half. For N # 50, what are (a) the multiplicity WA of configuration A, (b) the multiplicity WB of configuration B, and (c) the ratio fB/A of the time the system spends in configuration B to the time it spends in configuration A? For N # 100, what are (d) WA, (e) WB, and (f) fB/A? For N # 200, what are (g) WA, (h) WB, and (i) fB/A? ( j) With increasing N, does f increase, decrease, or remain the same?
