OPT: a). 0 degrees kelvin. b). stopping point. c). 0 degrees celcius. d). absolute zero.
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Making Connections: Absolute Zero What is absolute zero? Absolute zero is the temperature at which all molecular motion has ceased. The concept of absolute zero arises from the behavior of gases. Figure 13.9 shows how the pressure of gases at a constant volume decreases as temperature decreases. Various scientists have noted that the pressures of gases extrapolate to zero at the same temperature, 273.15C . This extrapolation implies that there is a lowest temperature. This temperature is called absolute zero. Today we know that most gases first liquefy and then freeze, and it is not actually possible to reach absolute zero. The numerical value of absolute zero temperature is 273.15C or 0 K. Q: The temperature at which all molecular motion has ceased is called what? A:
