saurabhjain said:I was reading about the experiment of constant volume gas thermometer today. When we extrapolate the presuure -temperature lines, the lines would meet at point -273.15 degree celsius, which is zero presure. I was wondering whether it is a matter of coincidence or some science behind it. The lines could have intercepted at some non-zero pressure. Please help me understanding this.
At -273.15 degrees Celsius, also known as absolute zero, the particles in a gas have no kinetic energy and therefore do not collide with the walls of their container. This lack of collisions means there is no pressure exerted by the gas.
Yes, -273.15 degrees Celsius is the lowest possible temperature that can be reached, as it is the point at which all molecular motion stops. This is also known as absolute zero and is the basis for the Kelvin temperature scale.
No, all gases will exert zero pressure at -273.15 degrees Celsius. This is a fundamental law of thermodynamics and cannot be changed.
As the temperature of a gas decreases, its pressure also decreases. At -273.15 degrees Celsius, the pressure will be zero, as explained by the ideal gas law.
No, it is not possible to create a gas that can exert pressure at -273.15 degrees Celsius. This is a fundamental law of thermodynamics and cannot be overcome.
