← ScienceWhich consequence results when the Boltzmann constant approaches zero in classical thermodynamics?
A)Heat capacity vanishes at all temperatures✓
B)Quantum effects become universally significant
C)Materials require infinite energy for heating
D)Chemical reaction's activation energy decreases
💡 Explanation
Vanishing Boltzmann constant means equipartition theorem fails because energy quantization becomes extremely fine; therefore, heat capacity approaches zero since no energy modes get excited, rather than quantum effects dominating or energy/activation barrier decreasing.
