How did Charles's law lead to the concept of an absolute scale of temperature?

उत्तर
The temperature scale with its zero at -273°C and where each degree is equal to the degree on the Celsius scale is called the absolute scale of temperature.
The temperature of -273°C is called absolute zero. Theoretically, this is the lowest temperature which can never be reached. All molecular motion ceases at this temperature.
The temperature of -273°C is called absolute zero.
V = V° `((273 + "t")/273)`
Volume at - 273°C = V° `((273 - 273)/273) = 0`

What will be the minimum pressure required to compress 500 dm3 of air at 1 bar to 200 dm3 temperature remaining constant?
88 cm3 of nitrogen is at a pressure of 770 mm mercury. If the pressure is raised to 880 mmHg, find by how much the volume will diminish, the temperature remaining constant.
2500 cm3 of hydrogen is taken at STP. The pressure of this gas is further increased by two and a half times (temperature remaining constant). What volume will hydrogen occupy now?
At a given temperature the pressure of a gas reduces to 75% of its initial value and the volume increases by 40% of its initial value. Find this temperature if the initial temperature was -10°C.
A fixed volume of a gas occupies 760cm3 at 27°C and 70 cm of Hg. What will be its vol. at s.t.p.
According to Charles’s law, at constant pressure, the temperature is inversely proportional to volume.
