Question
A formula for this quantity is carved on the gravestone of Ludwig Boltzmann. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this quantity, which in the aforementioned formula, is proportional to the log of the number of microstates. This quantity measures the amount of disorder in a system.
ANSWER: entropy [prompt on S]
[10m] This statement states that the entropy of a closed system approaches a constant value as temperature approaches absolute zero.
ANSWER: third law of thermodynamics [prompt on third law]
[10h] This scientist was the first to formulate the third law of thermodynamics using his namesake heat theorem. This scientist names an equation that can be derived from the Butler–Volmer equation by setting the reaction rate to zero.
