a. This statement corresponds to the Third Law of Thermodynamics, which states that as the temperature approaches absolute zero (0 K), the entropy of a pure crystalline substance approaches zero.
b. This statement corresponds to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that heat spontaneously flows from objects at higher temperatures to objects at lower temperatures, and does not reverse direction on its own.
c. This statement corresponds to the First Law of Thermodynamics, also known as the Law of Energy Conservation. It states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed from one form to another.
State which law of thermodynamics each statement corresponds to.
a. “A system can never reach a temperature of 0 K.”
b. “Heat will never of itself flow from a cold object to a hot object.”
c. “Whenever heat is added to a system, it transforms to an equal amount of some other
form of energy.”
