The 3rd law
The 3rd law
The third law is talking about the entropy of pure, perfectly crystalline materials at zero K.
They have zero entropy at zero K, by the third law. Therefore, in classical thermodynamics, thermal motions entirely stop in particles at zero K. Entropy change can be calculated from the knowledge on the heat capacity.
