Following statements are in agreement with the third law of thermodynamics

  • 3) In a crystalline state, there is a tendency to minimize entropy and at absolute zero, the inter-atomic distance within a crystal is minimized.
  • 4) At the melting point, the entropy of a system increases abruptly as the compound transforms into a liquid.

Standard-state entropy for  reaction-242.2 J/K.mol

Third law of thermodynamics states that the minimum entropy must be assigned a zero value for a perfectly  pure crystalline structure.

From this we can say that,Temperature is directly proportional to the entropy of the system.Less the temperature, less will be randomness of the particles (less will be the entropy), less will be the inter-atomic distance between the particles.Hence, from the information above, the correct statements are:The entropy of a system increases abruptly as the compound transforms into a liquid,In a crystalline state, there is a tendency to minimize entropy At absolute zero, the inter-atomic distance within a crystal is minimized.

Given reaction:

CH4(g)+2O2(g)?CO2(g)+2H2O(l)

CH4(g) = 186 S⁰(J / K mol)

O2(g) =205 S⁰ (J /K mol)

CO2(g) =214 S⁰ (J/ K mol)

H2O(l) =69.9 S⁰(J / K mol)

Now we will find the entropy change as follows:

ΔS⁰xn= S⁰CO2 +2×SoH2O−SoCH4−2×SoO2

Hence, the entropy change for the reaction is -242.2 J/K.mol
