What would the volume and pressure of an ideal gas be at absolute zero temperature IF an ideal gas actually existed?

Here's the ideal gas law: PV = nRT If T is zero, then PV must be zero; assuming the volume is nonzero, then for PV to be zero the pressure must be zero. However, this is only true for an ideal gas. For a real gas other factors come into play at low temperatures, and they begin to deviate from the ideal gas law. Also, all real gases liquify above absolute zero, and liquids don't obey the ideal gas law at all.

∙ 12y agoAccording to the Ideal Gas Law:
PV = nRT
If the temperature were to reach absolute zero, then the product PV would also have to be zero. Since an ideal gas pretty much assumes point mass, the volume could be zero - or the pressure could be zero - or both.

Why do scientists think mars may have once been a warmer place and may have had a thicker atmosphere?
Scientists have proven that liquid water once existed on Mars. Currently Mars is too cold and atmospheric pressure is too low for water to remain liquid, so both temperature and surface pressure must have been higher.
Where did Oil and natural gas energy come from?
Oil and gas are fossil fuels and come from millions of year of earths pressure on the fossil and plant life that once existed. This is why they are nonrenewable.

What are index fossils and how are they used to determine the absolute age of sedimentary rocks?
Index fossils can be used to help determine the relative age of rock layers. Index fossils are from species that only existed for a short time. Index fossils are found in rock layers. Trilobites and Graptolites are index fossils.

What kelvin temperature is considered standard temperature?
The Kelvin Temperature scale is an absolute temperature scale to be used in the SI System.T in K = T in C + 273.15Applications involving the Ideal Gas Law or radiation heat transfer require use of absolutetemperature ( T in K )
