Discussion
If the system under consideration is in contact with both a heat reservoir and a particle reservoir, then the ensemble is :
Answer: C
The ensemble is Grandcanonical.
Exchange of energy with a heat reservoir fixes the temperature, and exchange of particles with a particle reservoir fixes the chemical potential. A system with variable energy and particle number at fixed T, V and \(\mu\) is described by the grand canonical ensemble.
The canonical ensemble has a fixed particle number (heat reservoir only); the microcanonical ensemble is isolated, with fixed energy and particle number; the isobaric-isothermal ensemble fixes pressure instead of volume, not chemical potential.
