4, Define ensemble, microstate and macro state.
* ensemble isercotlection of large number of microscopically identica
secentially independent system.) ‘ a
ider anensemble Consisting of a large number of independent systems
consisting of a large number of molecules, in the phase space. Each system
Je may be represenrted by point known as phase point or representative
e phase space. Let the phase space be divided into cells numbered 1, 2, 3,
adjoining one another and having a volume equal to
84,89, «. 8q,5p, 8p, --- 8p,
ae point for any system or molecule may be supposed to lie inside one of
Avese cells. In)order to define the microstate of the ensemble we must specify the
‘spaividual position of phase points for each system or molecule of the @risemble. In
words, =o which cell each system or molecule belongs
temporarily. Such a deep analysis is quite unneccssary to determine the observable
ies of any ensemble (or gas). For example, the density is same if the number
{molecules in each volume element of ordinary space is the same regardless of
whi molecule lie in any volume element.
‘macrostate)of the ensemble may be defined by the specification of the number
of pl intf3 (j.e., system or molecules) in each cell of phase space such as 1,
phase points are in cell 1, 1, phase points are in cell 2, n, phase points are in cell 3
and so on.

The constant of integration C in above equation is chosen in accordance wit
thind law of thermodynamics also known is Nernst heat theorem.
According to this theorem the entropy of a thermodynamical system tend
zero as its temperature tends to absolute zero. The temperatures appro
absolute zero are generally attained by the process of adiabatic demagnet
The process requires to subject the paramagnetic salts to nigh magnetic Feld so
the spins of the electrons align themsives parallel to the direction of the a
field. Atabsolute zero all the electron spins are aligned parall tothe direction ft
field since at absxolute zero there is no thermal energy to disturb their alignmey
Thus at absolute zero there is only one configuration where all the electon spins
ordered in a particular direction, e,, at absoluter zero, the thermodyna
probability (or weight of configuration) is 1
Hence fora thermodynamical system at absolute zero = 1 and $=0,
So that equation (13) yields C= 0.
Hence S=kiog2
