Statements of Third Law All reactions in a liquid or solid in thermal equilibrium

Statements of Third Law All reactions in a liquid or solid in thermal equilibrium take place with no change of entropy in the neighborhood of absolute zero. (Nernst) The entropy of a true equilibrium state of a system at absolute zero is zero. (Planck) Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 10 2

Statements of Third Law It is impossible to reduce the temperature of a system
