What is the volume of the gas before and after cooled?

The volume of a gas - at constant pressure - is proportional to the absolute temperature, that is, to the temperature expressed in Kelvin. This relationship is only approximate for real gases, but it is close enough for most practical purposes.

What is 0 on a kelvin scale?

First, note that Kelvin is typically not expressed in degree(s), just Temperature Kelvin(e.g., 50 K for 50 kelvin). ***(note2 at bottom, about kelvin vs degree kelvin)Kelvin is a temperature scale based upon 0K being absolute zero*(note1 at bottom), which is currently the lowest possible temperature. This is not possible to actually achieve, but it can be determined as the point at which a 'perfect' (ideal gas) gas would have zero pressure and volume as it contracts on cooling. As most gases behave very much like a perfect gas and the deviation of real gases is well understood, this allows us to calculate the exact temperature at which this would happen. That temperature is zero Kelvin.For the ideal gas this is the point at which the molecules (assumed to be perfect non-interacting mathematical points) stop all motion. So the pressure (which is caused by the gas molecules bouncing off the container walls) is zero. At this point also, the gas has zero kinetic energy.(In reality quantum mechanics shows that particles must have a certain amount of energy even at zero Kelvin. This is termed the 'zero point' energy, and is manifest in a tiny amount of vibrational energy. So in reality there is residual motion in a gas at absolute zero, but this cannot exert any pressure as that would involve removing the residual energy which cannot happen. So in quantum terms it is the point at which no mechanical energy can be extracted from the system.)The Kelvin scale is named for British mathematician and physicist William Thompson, 1st Baron Kelvin (1824-1907), who did much to unify the modern field of Physics.Equivalent Temperatures in Other Temperature Scales-273.16° Celsius-459.67° Fahrenheit0° Rankine**-218° Réaumur*Note1 - The Kelvin scale is indeed based upon the triple point of water, being assigned to 273.16 K; this point is beyond the scope of this discussion, however.**Kelvin and Rankine are both based upon 0 as absolute zero, however Kelvin uses the interval of 1 K is equal to 1° Celsius, and Rankine uses the interval of 1° Rankine is equal to 1° Fahrenheit.***Note2 - The accepted SI unit for temperature is K, not, degree(s) K. In scientific papers you will typically only find K, though it is still colloquially accepted to use degree Kelvin when you mean Kelvin.


Are humans real and why?

1. Evolution is a real and demonstrable phenomenon, something that continuously happens to all lifeforms, including humans. 2. Common ancestry of humans and the other apes is real. The nested hierarchies of biology, our genomes, ERV's, chromosome #2 and numerous transitional fossils attest to this.

Can the volume of gas be zero if yes than how?

An ideal gas would have zero volume at zero kelvin. This is an idealization, and it won't happen with a real gas. Also, real substances can't be cooled down to zero kelvin.


What happens in a LEGO factory?

Well, until someone comes by with a real answer, I am going to say that the creation of Legos takes place within a factory, using melted plastic, which is put into molds, and after the plastic cools, there are legos.

Why there is not any degree symbol on kelvin?

Because it is an absolute measure of temperature based on the definition of temperature; molecular/particle movement. A real world interpretation of temperature and not something imposed on reality by men. 0 Kelvin ( - 273.15o C ) is when even Browning motion stops completely.


Why and how eddies can be formed formed in fluid despite kelvin's circulation theorem?

kelvin's circulation theorem describes the general case for inviscid barotropic flows - almost all real flow systems are neither. Turbulence is therefore an inevitable consequence if flow rates are large enough.
