1. Calculate the number of possible microstates in system (A): one particle and four slots.2. Calculate the number of possible microstates in system (B): three particles and four slots.3.4.Calculate the entropy difference between the two systems (A) and (B).Systems A and B, are combined into system C, shown above. Calculate the total number ofmicrostates when (A) and (B) are merged together to give (C).5. If two quanta of energy are added to this system, Wotal = Wparticles X Wquanta Energy quanta can passbetween the two subsystems, but particles cannot. Energy quanta can only be located on a particle,not in an empty box. You may add as many quanta as you like o any given particle. Calculate the totalnumber of unique energy arrangements W of system C.6. The barrier between the two parts of system C is removed so that particles can move throughout thecombined system. Calculate the total number of unique arrangements Wtotal.

NOTE: Since you have asked for multiple parts, so we will answer only the first three parts,…

Gibbs free energy is the sum of enthalpy change and the product of temperature and entropy. a. True b. False
For each system listed in the first column of the table below, decide (if possible) whether the change described in the second column will increase the entropy S of the system, decrease S, or leave S unchanged. If you don't have enough information to decide, check the "not enough information" button in the last column.

What of the following options describes the term "entropy, S"? O a. If a process or reaction is carried out in multiple steps, the sum of the enthalpy changes for these steps is the same as the enthalpy change if the entire reaction was carried out in a single step. O b. An indication that a process is capable of proceeding in a given direction without needing to be driven by an outside source of energy. O c. A thermodynamic function which measures the dispersal of energy amongst the particles in a substance. O d. The substances or material being studied in an experiment. For a chemical reaction, the system is all of the atoms in the substances undergoing the reaction. O e. Everything outside of the system.
