Entropy, which is a measure of the disorder of a system, is__________________?

Correct answer: C. Zero at absolute zero temperature for a perfect crystalline substance

  • A. Independent of pressure
  • B. Independent of temperature
  • C. Zero at absolute zero temperature for a perfect crystalline substance
  • D. All A, B. & C

Explanation

The third law states that the entropy of a perfect crystalline substance approaches zero as temperature approaches absolute zero. Entropy generally depends on both temperature and pressure, so options A and B are not correct.
