Which of the following statements about microstates, macrostates, and probability are true? Multiple answers: Multiple answers are accepted for this question Select one or more answers and submit. For keyboard navigation. SHOW MORE V The more microstates are associated with a macrostate, the more probable that macrostate is. b The macrostate is the measured state of the system. A system is in multiple microstates at the same time. The microstate a system is in changes as particles move and or energy is transferred between particles.

A refrigerator is the reverse of an engine: Work is performed to remove heat from a system, making it colder. The efficiency of a refrigerator often termed the coefficient of performance is defined as q3/wcycle=Tlow/(ThighTlow). Use this definition to determine the efficiency needed to halve the absolute temperature. What does your answer imply about attempts to reach absolute zero?
Explain why the statement No process is 100 efficient is not the best statement of the second law of thermodynamics.
