- On the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is the temperature 0 K. Although temperatures very close to 0 K have been produced in laboratories, absolute zero has never been attained. In fact, evidence suggests that absolute zero cannot be attained. How did scientists determine that 0 K is the “lower limit” of the temperature of matter? What is absolute zero on the Celsius scale?arrow_forwardIf I initially have a gas at a pressure of 12 atm, a volume of 23 liters, and a temperature of 200 K, and then I raise the pressure to 14 atm and increase the temperature to 300 K, what is the new volume of the gas?arrow_forwardSuppose you have a gas containing hydrogen molecules and oxygenmolecules, in thermal equilibrium.
