At absolute zero temperature, the entropy of a pure crystal is:
Zero
Positive
Negative
Any of above
As we have learnt,
3rd Law Of Thermodynamics -
The entropy of any pure crystalline substance approaches zero as the temperature approaches absolute zero. This is called the third law of thermodynamics.
At any pressure, the entropy of every crystalline solid in thermodynamic equilibrium at absolute zero is zero.
It is impossible to reduce the temperature of any system to absolute zero by any process.
As the absolute temperature approaches zero, increment in entropy for isothermal process in crystalline solids approaches zero,
i.e. S=0 at T=0
Or
-
According to the third law of thermodynamics, the entropy of pure crystal is zero at absolute zero temperature.
Therefore, Option(1) is correct.
