Absolute zero
Ideal gas has zero volume
Resistance of metal drops to zero
(actually superconductivity cuts in above
0K)
Brownian motion ceases (kinetic energy
due to thermal excitation 3/2 kT, see
Physics 1Y)
But lowest temperature attained is 10-9K
Example
KE=1/2mv2=1/2kT
v=(kT/m)1/2
v=(1.38x1023x293/m)1/2
m=0.03/(6.023x1023)=5x1026kg

Dont confuse with

Instead realise that light
carries heat (e.g. the sun
heats the earth)
Anything above absolute

Equations of state
State, identifies whether solid liquid or gas
Key parameters or state variables
Volume,
V (m3)
Pressure, p (N/m2)
Temperature, T (K)
Mass, M (kg) or number of moles, n
Amount of gas
Better to describe gas in terms of number
of moles (we shall see that all gases act
the same!)
Mass, m related to number of moles, n
= nM
= nRT
Re-express
pV
= (m/M) RT
Density = (m/V)
= pM/RT
Example
pV=nRT
Atmosphericpressure=105N/m2
Atmospherictemp.=300K
Foravolumeof1m3
n=pV/RT=105/(8.3x300)
=40moles
M=40x0.032=1.3kg
pV/T = nR = constant
p1V1/T1 = p2V2/T2
Hence can use pressure of a constant volume of gas to
define temperature (works even if gas is impure - since all
gases the same)
Must use T in K!!!!!!
Example
pV/T = nR
n = pV/RT
