Consider a system consisting of a cylinder with a movable piston containing 10^6 gas molecules at 298K at a volume of 1L. Consider the following descriptions of this system:

1. Initial system
2. Starting from the initial system, the volume of the container is changed to 2L and the temperature to 395K.
3. Starting from the initial system, a combination reaction occurs at constant volume and temperature.
4. Starting from the initial system, the gas reacts completely to produce 10^7 gas molecules at 395K in a volume of 2L.
5. Starting from the initial system, the temperature is changed to 395K at constant volume.

Arrange the descriptions in order of increasing number of microstates in the resulting system.

Did you know?

Did you know that the number of microstates in a system can vary depending on the changes that occur within it? In the given system, there are five different descriptions. Let's arrange them in order of increasing number of microstates in the resulting system: 1. Initial system: This is the starting point of the system, where it consists of a cylinder with a movable piston containing 10^6 gas molecules at 298K and a volume of 1L. At this point, the number of microstates is relatively low. 2. Starting from the initial system, the volume of the container is changed to 2L and the temperature to 395K: By increasing the volume and temperature, the system now has more space for the gas molecules to move around, resulting in a larger number of microstates. 3. Starting from the initial system, a combination reaction occurs at constant volume and temperature: In this scenario, although the conditions remain constant, a combination reaction takes place. This reaction leads to the formation of new molecules, increasing the number of microstates in the system. 4. Starting from the initial system, the gas reacts completely to produce 10^7 gas molecules at 395K in a volume of 2L: In this case, the gas molecules undergo a complete reaction, resulting in the formation of a larger number of gas molecules. As a result, the number of microstates increases significantly. 5. Starting from the initial system, the temperature is changed to 395K at constant volume: Here, the temperature is changed without any alterations to the volume. This change increases the kinetic energy of the gas molecules, leading to more energetic movements and subsequently, a larger number of microstates. By arranging the descriptions in this order, we can observe how the number of microstates increases with changes in volume, temperature, and chemical reactions.
