0 Kelvin Entropy

Postby Isaac 14B » Sun Mar 17, 2024 11:50 pm

What does it exactly mean when we are trying to find the entropy of a combustion reaction for a particular compound at 0 kelvin? Is that chemically possible or do we just in fact express it through mathematics solely?

Determining the entropy of a combustion reaction for a particular compound at absolute zero temperature (0 Kelvin) is a theoretical concept; however, it is not possible to achieve absolute zero in real life due to the 3rd law of thermodynamics.
