Question
Does glass have $S=0$ at $0 \mathrm{~K}$ ? Explain.
Step 1
According to this law, the entropy of a perfectly ordered pure crystalline substance can be zero and become zero at absolute zero temperature (0 Kelvin). This is represented as $S=0$ at $0 \mathrm{~K}$. Show more…

Is it possible for a temperature to be lower than $0 \mathrm{~K}$ on the Kelvin temperature scale? Explain.
Explain why ice, which is a crystalline solid, has a melting temperature of $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, whereas butter, which is an amorphous solid, softens over a range of temperatures.
