Question 3: Moveable Partition Consider 3 distinguishable particles (A, B, C) in a system with 3 occupancy cell partitioned by a moveable barrier. The barrier can have one of two positions 1 and 2. Each cell can accommodate any number of particles. Particle A is left of the partition and particle B and C are to the right of the partition. To illustrate, two example microstates of the system out of the set of possible microstates are shown below: ABC ABC 1 2 1 2 What is the entropy divided by the Boltzmann constant S/k at the most likely partition position? (a) 1.39 (b) 0.00 (c) 1.10 (d) 0.69 (e) 1.79 What is the average partition position? (a) 1.86 (b) 1.50 (c) 1.33 (d) 1.00 (e) 2.00
