Third law of thermodynamics is helpful in___________________?

Correct answer: B. Both B. and C.

  • A. Prediction of the extent of a chemical reaction
  • B. Both B. and C.
  • C. Evaluating entropy changes of chemical reaction
  • D. Calculating absolute entropies of substances at different temperature

Explanation

The third law assigns zero entropy to a perfect crystal at absolute zero, allowing absolute entropies to be calculated at other temperatures. These absolute values are then used to evaluate entropy changes in chemical reactions.
