List down real-life applications of the three fundamental laws of chemistry
Suppose a system of two particles, represented by circles, have the possibility of occupying energy states
with 0, 10, or 20 J. Collectively, the particles must have 20 J of total energy. One way the two particles can
distribute themselves is:
20 J
10 J
