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

Correct answer: A. Zero

  • A. Zero
  • B. Unity
  • C. Infinity
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For Helmholtz free energy, (∂F/∂T)V = −S. As temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy approaches zero according to the third law, so this derivative also approaches zero.
