1. Absolute Zero
-the coldest possible temperature is called absolute zero
-this is measured on the Kelvin scale (K); note: there are no negative temperatures on the Kelvin scale
-the lowest temperature would be 0 K = −273.15°C; at this point, all atomic and molecular motion stops
-Kelvin temperature is specified without the degree symbol
Conversion between
Kelvin and Celsius:
Kelvin = °C

2. Absolute Zero -higher kinetic energy  higher Kelvin temperature
-kinetic energy is also affected by pressure and volume
-At 0 K all motion stops, meaning that the average kinetic energy equals zero.
***Standard temperature is 0°C, and standard pressure (STP) is 1 atmosphere (760 mm Hg)***

3. Charles’ Law - Assumes constant concentration of gas and pressure
- Temperature MUST be in Kelvin
- volume and temperature increase together directly proportionally
ex. if volume doubles, temperature doubles
- volume and temperature decrease together directly proportionally
ex. if volumes halves, temperature is halved

4. Charles’ Law Problems Answer the following questions:
What will happen to the temperature if you triple the volume of a gas?
What will happen to the volume if you quarter the temperature of a gas?
What will happen to the temperature at 500 K if the volume of a gas changed from 200 mL to 400 mL?
What will happen to the volume of a gas at 300 L if the temperature changes from 273 K to K?
What will happen to the volume of a gas at 600 L if the temperature changed from 273°C to 0°C?
