Which of the following must be true for the microstates of a system?
I.The energy of each microstate equals the energy of the system.
II.The entropy of each microstate equals the entropy of the system.
III.The number of microstates equals the entropy of the system.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The energy of each microstate must equal the energy of the system, as microstates are specific configurations that collectively define the system's macroscopic properties. Entropy is a measure of the number of microstates, not a property of individual microstates.
