14. At absolute zero temperature, pressure P of gas
would reduce to zero. The volume V of the gas
would also become zero. If we were to imagine
going below this temperature, volume of gas
would be negative, which is impossible. That
suggests that the lowest attainable temperature
is absoulate zero.
At absolute zero, the translatory motion of
molecules ceases but other forms of molecular
energy (like inter molecular potential energy) do
not become zero. Therefore absolute zero
temperature is not the temperature of zero-
energy.

This means where v is small, P is more.
At A, pressure is higher. Hence liquid at

From Mindbender 3(ii) 12. In ideal gas, by definition, there is no interaction
Change in internal energy, between particles, no intermolecular forces. So
U = mL – P(Vsteam – Vwater) pressure change at constant temperature does
