In terms of Charles' law, explain why `-273^(@)C` is the lowest possible temperature?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The temperature `-273^(@)C` (or `0 K`) is known as absolute zero temperature. Below this temperature. Below this temperature,a substance connot exist as a gas and changes to the liquid state. This means that the charles's Law can be applied only unto a temperature `-273^(@)C` since a substance fails to exist as gas below this temperature.
