    The entropy of a solid is zero at absolute zero temperature. This statement is given by:

    A)  zeroth law of thermodynamics

    B)  Ist law of thermodynamics

    C)  IInd law of thermodynamics

    D)  IIIrd law of thermodynamics

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Third law of thermodynamics states that all substance behave like perfect crystalline substance at absolute zero \[\left( -\,273{}^\circ C \right)\] temperature. Hence, their entropy becomes zero at absolute zero temperature. Mathematically, \[\underset{T\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\,S=0\]
