Question

Difference between microcanonical ensemble, canonical ensemble and grand canonical ensemble

Answer 1

Answer:

The microcanonical ensemble refers to all states consistent with fixed number of particles, volume, and total energy. The Grand canonical ensemble describes a system with fixed volume, temperature, and chemical potential (partial molar Gibbs energy).

Answer 2

Answer:

The microcanonical ensemble refers to all states consistent with fixed number of particles, volume, and total energy. The Grand canonical ensemble describes a system with fixed volume, temperature, and chemical potential (partial molar Gibbs energy).
