Chapter 17, Problem 17.112QP

Draw the missing distributions in Figure 17.2. (Hint: See the footnote in Section 17.3.)

Figure 17.2    Some possible ways of distributing four molecules between two equalcompartments. Distribution I can be achieved in only one way (all four molecules in the left compartment) and has one microstate. Distribution II can be achieved in four ways and has four microstates. Distribution III can be achieved in six ways and has six microstates.
