•As long as we deal in differences in entropy, knowledge of S0 is unnecessary.

•However, absolute entropy IS important, e.g.

F = U - TSF = U - TSG = H - TSG = H - TS

•The Nernst formulation of the Third Law:

‘‘All reactions in a liquid or solid in thermal equilibrium All reactions in a liquid or solid in thermal equilibrium take place with no change of entropy in the neighborhood take place with no change of entropy in the neighborhood of absolute zero.’of absolute zero.’

•Planck’s statement of the Third Law:

‘‘The entropy of a true equilibrium state of a system at The entropy of a true equilibrium state of a system at absolute zero is zero.’absolute zero is zero.’

•Another statement of the Third Law is:

‘‘It is impossible to reduce the temperature of a system to It is impossible to reduce the temperature of a system to absolute zero using a finite number of processes.’absolute zero using a finite number of processes.’
