Q28 / 180 · KCET 2016 · Chemistry

The correct statement regarding entropy is,

  • Correct answer
    A
    At absolute zero temperature, entropy of a perfectly crystalline solid is zero.
  • B
    At absolute zero temperature, the entropy of a perfectly crystalline substance is \( +V e \).
  • C
    At absolute zero temperature, the entropy of all crystalline substances is zero.
  • D
    At \( 0{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \), the entropy of a perfect crystalline solid is zero.

Solution

The correct statement regarding entropy is at absolute zero temperature (i.e., \( -273.15^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) or \( 0 \mathrm{~K} \) ) entropy of a perfectly
crystalline solid is zero.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
