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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that according to Charles law for `t^(@)C` risc in temp., the increase in volume is given by
`V_(t)=V_(0) (1+(t)/(273)) " " V_(-273^(@)C)=V_(0) (1-(273)/(273))`
`=V_(0)(1-1)" " V_(-273^(@)C)=0`
At `- 273^(@)C` volume of gas is zero. Before this temperature gas changes into liquid form.

The length L (in centimetres) of a copper rod is a linear function of its Celsius temperature C. In an experiment, if L = 124.942 when C = 20 and L = 125.134 when C = 110, express L in terms of C.

Gibbs Helmholtz equation relates the enthalpy, entropy and free energy change of the process at constant pressure and temperature as DeltaG=DeltaH-TDeltaS " (at constant P, T)" In General the magnitude of DeltaH does not change much with the change in temperature but the terms TDeltaS changes appreciably. Hence in some process spontaneity is very much dependent on temperature and such processes are generally known as entropy driven process. When CaCO_(3) is heated to a high temperature it decomposes into CaO and CO_(2) , however it is quite stable at room temperature. It can be explained by the fact that
