The laws of thermodynamics can be related to the following: (i)the measurement of temperature, (ii)the lowest temperature possible, (iii)conservation of energy,and (iv)only part of heat energy available may be turned into work.Which of these involve the zeroth and third law?
A)(i)and (ii)
B)(ii)and (iv)
C)(i)and (iii)
D)(iii)and (iv)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The zeroth law of thermodynamics relates to the measurement of temperature (i), while the conservation of energy (iii) is described by the first law. The second law states that the lowest possible temperature cannot be reached (ii), while the third law deals with the behavior of systems at absolute zero. The fact that only part of the heat energy available may be turned into work is related to the second law and is represented by (iv). Therefore, the correct choice is A, which includes the zeroth law (i) and the second law (ii).
