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

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why -273°C is the lowest possible temperature in terms of Charles' Law, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding Charles' Law Charles' Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (in Kelvin) when pressure is held constant. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ V \propto T \] or \[ \frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2} \] ...
