  1. Third Law of Thermodynamics Third Law of Thermodynamics No finite sequence of cyclic processes can succeed in cooling a body to absolute zero. Nernst Postulate (Weak Form) The entropy change associated with any condensed system undergoing a reversible isothermal process approaches zero as temperature approaches 0 K, where condensed system refers to liquids and solids. Walther Nernst (1864 – 1941)

  2. Nernst Postulate (Strong Form) The entropy of all perfectly crystalline substances is zero at absolute zero. Max Planck (1858-1947)
