Question
Would you expect the entropy of an alloy (a solution of two metals) to be zero at $0 \mathrm{~K}$ ? Explain your answer.
Step 1
An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals, or a metal and another element. It is not a pure substance, but a mixture. Show more…

Under what conditions is the entropy of a pure substance $0 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{K} \cdot \mathrm{mol} ?$ Could a substance at standard conditions at $25^{\circ}$ C have a value of $0 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{K} \cdot$ mol? A negative entropy value? Are there any conditions under which a substance will have negative entropy? Explain your answer.
Under what conditions does a substance have a standard entropy of zero? Can a substance ever have a negative standard entropy?
