3- a) Show that the entropy of the system in the grand canonical ensemble can be written as S =
-kE, P,lnP,.
b) Assuming that the total number of microstates accessible to a given statistical system is N, show
that the entropy of the system in part (a) is maximum when all n states are equally likely to occur.
c) If, on the other hand, we have an ensemble of systems sharing energy (with mean value E), then
show that the entropy, as given by the same formal expression, is maximum when P, oxe-BEr, B
being a constant to be determined by the given value of E.
d) Further, if we have an ensemble of systems sharing energy (with mean valueË) and also sharing
particles (with mean value N), then show that the entropy, given by a similar expression, is
maximum when Ps xe-aNr-BEs, a and B being constants to be determined by the given values
of N and E.
