Absolute Zero is 0 degrees Kelvin (0K) or −273.15° Celsius. It is the point where all molecular movement associated with entropy ceases. It is used in equations such as the Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT See a good summary on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_zero

Point where all molecules stop moving?
The point where all molecules stop moving, in theory, is absolute zero.
What is the temperature at which all molecular motion stops?
This is called absolute zero. The temperature is 0 Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius.
What temperature do particles stop moving?
That happens at the "absolute zero" of temperature, also called zero kelvin. In fact, according to quantum theory there is still a very small amount of motion of particles even at zero kelvin. Also, it's theoretically impossible to reach absolute zero, but we have got very close to it.
What happens to a real gas (nitrogen gas) as it cools from room temp to 0 K absolute zero Would you expect it to disappear when it reached absolute zero?
- Nitrogen gas become a solid.- Absolute zero is intangible.
When does enthalpy become zero?
at absolute zero only, the enthalpy of any gas can become zero.
What state would oxygen be at temperature absolute zero?
At absolute zero molecules are not supposed to move, so in theory everything would be a solid
Point where all molecules stop moving?
The point where all molecules stop moving, in theory, is absolute zero.
What is the absolute vaue of zero?
The absolute value of zero is zero.
Is absolute zero is equal to -273 degrees on the Kelvin scale?
Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.Kelvin is defined in such a way that absolute zero is zero Kelvin.
In theory what happens to water at absolute zero should it constantly expand to this point?
Einstein calculated that at absolute 0 the water molecule turns into photon
What is the special name for zero degree Kelvin?
Absolute zero.
What is absolute zero Celsius?
Absolute zero (zero kelvin) is -273.15 C
Is zero degrees Kelvin absolute temperature?
It is absolute zero.
When Kelvin predicted Absolute Zero he used Charles' law however in theory this means that a gas at absolute zero has a volume of zero how can this be?
Technically it can't be, since you would be destroying matter and the Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. The theory of absolute theory is just that; theoretical. It was created by the extrapolation of Charle's discoveries about volume and temperature with his balloon experiment, in which the data was extrapolated along a best fit line. If you were to create a method to change something's volume to zero though, let me know, I want to become rich too.
Why is absolute zero important?
absolute zero is the essence of nothing and nothing is a quantity of zero.
Is absolute zero measured in kelvins?
Yes, absolute zero is zero degrees Kelvin.
If an explosion were happening could it be contained or stopped by using a method like absolute zero?
In theory, an explosion can be halted by absolute zero, since no atoms are able to move in that temperature. But the explosion cannot be reversed without a time machine.
