absolute pressure is calculated from a vacuum (0 psi) and atmospheric pressure is14.7psia or 14.7 psi above a vacuum 1psi on a tire pressure gauge is called 1psig = 15.7psia 10psig=24.7psia 100psig=114.7psia etc.

Is it possible for absolute pressure to be negative?

No, absolute pressure cannot be negative as it is always measured as a positive value above zero.


If a certain amount of gas fills a 1.0 liter container and exerts a pressure on the walls of 2.0 Nm2 at 20 degrees celsius what would the pressure theoretically be at absolute zero?

Zero. PV = nRT. T = 0, so nRT = 0, and thus PV must be zero also. Since we know the volume is not zero, the pressure must be zero.


What is the zero point on the absolute scale defined as?

SZero point in the absolute scale is the temperature at which the kinetic energy of the molecule becomes Zero. For a constant pressure volume would become zero and at constant volume pressure would become zero at this absolute zero temperature.


What is the temperature at which an ideal gas occupies zero pressure?

The temperature at which an ideal gas occupies zero pressure is called absolute zero. It is defined as 0 Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, the particles in the gas have minimal kinetic energy and do not exert any pressure.


What pressure would you expect in a rigid container of 0 centigrade gas if you cooled it by 273 centigrade?

If you cool the container to -273 degrees Celsius, which is absolute zero, the gas would theoretically have zero pressure since all molecular motion would cease. In practice, achieving absolute zero is impossible, but as you approach it, pressure would approach zero.


What is a Vacuum in kilo pascal?

Depends on If it's absolute or relative. Vacuum in any unit is zero in absolute pressure. Vacuum in any unit is -normal air pressure in relative pressure.


Would you consider atmospheric pressure when finding the pressure of a liquid in a closed container?

pressure is usually measured relative to atmospheric this is called gauge pressure. if you compare against absolute zero pressure (vacuum) this is called absolute pressure.


Zero gauge pressure equals what pressure on the absolute pressure scale?

Zero (0) gauge pressure equals 14.696 PSI on the absolute scale. A lot of people will round up to 14.7 PSI for simplicity. 14.696 PSI is the pressure that is developed at sea level due to the weight of our atmosphere. The absolute pressure scale is based on zero being a perfect vacuum. Gauge pressure takes into account the atmospheric pressure at sea level (14.696 PSI). A simple conversion formula is PSIG+14.696=PSIA.


What is the absolute vaue of zero?

The absolute value of zero is zero.


What is temperature of absolute zero in kelvin?

Absolute zero in Kelvin is defined as 0 degrees. This is -273.15 degrees celcius. It was determined by extrapolating the gas and pressure of an ideal gas as it approaches the point where all of its particles stop vibrating. The closest we have gotten to absolute zero is 10^-15 degrees kelvin. Hope that helps.
