Canonical and Grand canonical ensembles & Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution

Canonical ensemble

After the introduction of Boltzmann statistics and the canonical ensemble in lecture 9, here are some quizzes

Canonical ensemble  quiz 1

Canonical ensemble quiz 2

Canonical ensemble quiz 3

Maxwell-Boltzmann speed distribution

Follow this link to the atomify examples of this week. Run the Maxwell-Boltzmann distrubution example and follow the instructions in the Jupyter Notebook.

You will need this phase diagram:

Grand Canonical ensemble

After the first part of today's lecture, also introduced in this video, discuss this quiz:

Grand canonical ensemble quiz

This short video gives an example of applying the Gibbs statistics to CO₂ poisoning

This video presents a longer example of how to use Gibbs statistics for different models of oxygen uptake.
