Identify the correct statements from the following
I. $\Delta_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{G}$ is zero for $\mathrm{A} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{B}$ reaction
II. The entropy of pure crystalline solids approaches zero as the temperature approaches absolute zero
III. $\Delta U$ of a reaction can be determined using bomb calorimeter
I, II only
I, III only
II, III only
I, II, III
Solution
(I) For equilibrium reaction Gibb's free energy i.e $\Delta \mathrm{G}_{\mathrm{r}}=0$
(II) According to third law of thermodynamics, the entropy of pure crystalline solid approaches zero as the temperature approaches absolute zero. This is because there is perfect order in a crystal at absolute zero. (III)For a chemical reactions, heat absorbed at constant volume i.e $\Delta U$ is measured in a bomb calorimeter.
