How does the third law of thermodynamics allow absolute entropies of substances to be determined? A) It defines a reference point by which entropy changes can be measured and assigned as an absolute entropy for a substance. B) It defines the temperature at which all absolute entropies are measured. C) It requires that all energy in a process be conserved to accurately measure an absolute entropy. D) It provides a reference point for the absolute entropy of the universe. E) It requires that a process be reversible to measure the absolute entropy change.
