"At the absolute zero temperature, the entropy of every perfectly crystalline substance becomes zero". This follows from the __________________?
Correct answer: A. Third law of thermodynamics
- A. Third law of thermodynamics
- B. Second law of thermodynamics
- C. Nernst heat theorem
- D. Maxwell's relations
Explanation
The third law assigns zero entropy at absolute zero to a perfectly crystalline substance. The Nernst heat theorem is closely related, but the statement given is the standard third-law formulation.
