Answer:

8 possible microstates.

Explanation:

Supposed we tossed three (3) coins (a nickel, a dime, and a quarter).

The possible outcomes can be seen as follows.

Coin

1st. +1 +1 +1 -1 +1 -1 -1 -1

2nd +1 +1 -1 +1 -1 +1 -1 -1

3rd +1 -1 +1 +1 -1 -1 +1 -1

There 8 (eight) microstates are possible.

What are microstates?

It is the each arrangement of the energy of each molecule in the whole system at one instant

Supposed we tossed three (3) coins (a nickel, a dime, and a quarter).

The possible outcomes can be seen as follows.

Coin

1st. =  +1 +1 +1 -1 +1 -1 -1 -1

2nd= +1 +1 -1 +1 -1 +1 -1 -1

3rd= +1 -1 +1 +1 -1 -1 +1 -1

Thus, there 8 (eight) microstates are possible.
