delta S
If delta S equals delta H/ temperature, does that mean the more you decrease temperature the higher delta S is?

Re: delta S
But I remember hearing that when temperature is zero, than delta S is also 0. Or is that wrong.

Re: delta S
That is right because the Third Law of Thermodynamics, states that materials have zero entropy at 0K.

Re: delta S
If you think about it algebraically it would make sense. Dividing by a smaller number vs dividing by a larger one will give you a larger value. So temperature which is the variable that will be in the denominator will determine the size of your value. Lower temp = greater change in entropy.
