Why is entropy of substance taken as zero at absolute zero of temperature?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Entropy**: - Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. Higher entropy indicates more disorder, while lower entropy indicates more order. 2. **Concept of Absolute Zero**: - Absolute zero is defined as 0 Kelvin (or -273.15 degrees Celsius). At this temperature, a system is expected to reach its lowest energy state. ...
