Which law of the thermodynamics helps in calculating the absolute entropies of various substances at different temperatures?
Options
- AFirst law
- BSecond law
- CThird law
- DZeroth law
Correct answer
C. Third law
Step-by-step solution
The third law helps to calculate the absolute entropies of pure substances at different temperature. The entropy of the substance at different temperature. T may be calculated by the measurement of heat capacity change array l S _ T - S ₀= S = ₀^ T C _ p dt T Where S _ T = Entropy at T K array S ₀= Entropy at 0 ~K array l = C _ p _ e ~T =2.303 C _ p log T array
