Although very cold, Pluto is still a few degrees off absolute zero. Zero kelvin is absolute zero, Plutos minimum reaches around 33 kelvin, 33 degrees above absolute zero.

Which law of thermodynamics states that it is impossible to reach absolute zero?

An object can never reach absolute zero in kinetic terms because there is never a total lack of kinetic energy, molecules are always moving.


Can space reach absolute zero?

NO, this is impossible. 0 K, or -273 *C can never be reached. In deep space, it can be 0.1 K or so, which is really cold. Heat 'spreads' from a hotter place to a colder, so if there were ever a place with absolute zero, some heat would immediately go there. Then, that point would probably reach a point possibly just above absolute zero.


What is absolute zero and why is it impossible to achieve it?

Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature. Basically, the closer you get to absolute zero, the harder it becomes to get even closer. However, it is possible to get very, very close - temperatures of less than a microkelvin, i.e., a millionth of a degree above absolute zero, have already been achieved.


Justify that the volume of given mass if a gas becomes theoretically zero at -273c?

At -273°C, a gas would reach absolute zero on the Kelvin scale, which is 0K. At this temperature, all molecular motion stops, causing the volume of the gas to theoretically become zero. This is because gases have negligible volume and are assumed to occupy zero volume at absolute zero.

Would you say that a dead body would reach absolute zero?

Nope; it would never go below room temperature. It is technically impossible to reach absolute zero


Is the planet Pluto about -500 degrees?

There is no such thing as -500 degrees. Absolute zero is -273.15ºC (=-459.67 F)Pluto's average temperature is about -230ºC


Is it possible to reach a temperature lower than absolute zero?

no


What is the third law of thermodynamics, which states that no system can reach absolute zero temperature?

The third law of thermodynamics states that as a system approaches absolute zero temperature, its entropy approaches a minimum value. This means that it is impossible for any system to reach absolute zero temperature.


Who was the first person to try to reach ablolute zero?

Do you mean 'reached the concept of absolute zero'? I ask this because I was always told that you cannot reach absolute zero, because absolute zero is the the lowest temperature in the universe. It is like trying to go faster than the speed of light. It hasn't been reached, yet.


If the universe were able to reach absolute zero would all the matter in it be randomly distributed across space or uniformly distributed across space?

While there is matter in the universe it will not be able to reach absolute zero


Why is it impossible to reach absolute zero?

It is impossible to reach absolute zero because it is the lowest possible temperature in the universe, where all molecular motion stops. The laws of thermodynamics prevent any system from reaching absolute zero, as it would require an infinite amount of energy to remove all heat from a system.


How do you use the word absolute zero in a sentence?

Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature, at which the motion of particles ceases completely. Scientists study the behavior of materials at absolute zero to understand fundamental properties of matter.


Why might it be especially difficult for scientists to cool a substance all the way down to absolute zero?

Cooling a substance to absolute zero is challenging because as the substance gets colder, it loses energy. At absolute zero, the substance would have no thermal energy, which goes against the principles of quantum mechanics. Additionally, achieving absolute zero requires overcoming the third law of thermodynamics, which states that it is impossible to reach absolute zero through a finite number of steps.

Do molecules disappear at absolute zero?

No. They are as frozen still as they can ever be. It is said to be scientifically impossible to actually reach absolute zero.


What is lowest temperature that the substanc can reach?

Temperatures can approach, but never reach, absolute zero. This is about -273 degrees C.
