Question

At what temperature the volume of a gas is supposed to be zero?

Solution

The explanation of temperature for zero volume occurrence is explained as:

  1. According to Charle's law, the volume occupied by the gaseous molecules is directly proportional to the temperature.at constant pressure.
  2. VαTV=kT
  3. Below is the graph plotted using the above formula between volume and temperature.

In the above diagram if the line is hypothetically extrapolated in -x axis where the volume is 0 on y axis, then the temperature comes out to be -273.15°C or 0K.

Therefore, the above points and diagram clearly explain that at -273.15°C or 0K, the volume of gas is supposed to be 0.
