As the temperature is lowered towards the absolute zero, the value of ∂(ΔF)/∂T, then approaches_______________________?

Correct answer: B. Zero

  • A. Unity
  • B. Zero
  • C. That of the heat of reaction
  • D. Infinity

Explanation

The temperature derivative of Helmholtz free energy is related to entropy, since (∂F/∂T)V = −S. Entropy approaches zero as absolute zero is approached, so the derivative of the reaction free-energy change approaches zero.
