Chapter 6, Problem 6.7QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An experiment with a gas that allows the determination of absolute zero on the temperature scale has to be described and whether the temperature of absolute zero measured directly or not has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Any gas that obeys the assumption laid down in kinetic molecular theory is said to be an ideal gas. The combination of all the gas laws namely Boyle’s law, Charles law and Avogadro’s leads to the ideal gas equation that can be used to relate all the four properties such as given below:

  $PV=nRT$

Here,

$\text{R}$ is the universal gas constant.

$V$ denotes the volume.

$n$ denotes the number of moles.

$T$ denotes temperature.

$P$ denotes the pressure.

Absolute zero is the lowest temperature possible for any matter.
