Question

$I$. The ideal gas law can be applied to a sample of xenon at a temperature of $-{273}^{o}C$.
$II$. Xenon is a noble gas.

• A. Statement $I$ is true, Statement $II$ is true
• B. Statement $I$ is true, Statement $II$ is false
• C. Statement $I$ is false, Statement $II$ is true
• D. Statement $I$ is true, Statement $II$ is true and is a correct explanation of the phenomena described in $I$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Since, $-273°C=0K$.

At absolute zero temperature i.e. 0 K, a gas will no longer be a gas, but rather it becomes a solid. So, the gas law will not be applicable in this case.

So, correct answer is option $C$.
