Which of the Following Statements Regarding Temperature and Absolute Zero $\degree$

question 157

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements regarding temperature and absolute zero (-273.15 $\degree$ C) is NOT correct?

• A)At constant P and n, the volume of a gas decreases as temperature decreases because the average kinetic energy of the particles decreases.
• B)When a sample of gas is at any temperature above absolute zero, it implies that the gas has done pressure-volume work as long as there was an opposing pressure).
• C)The concept of zero volume of a gas at absolute zero requires that the gas does not condense to form the liquid phase.
• D)Equal moles of different gases occupy different volumes at constant pressure, but their extrapolated volume at 0 K appears to be zero.
• E)Absolute zero has been reached experimentally by decreasing the volume of a gas to 1/273.15 of its original value.
