Statement I: Absolute zero is a theoretically possible temperature at which the volume of the gas be β States of Matter and Gaseous State Chemistry Question
Question
Statement I: Absolute zero is a theoretically possible temperature at which the volume of the gas becomes zero. Statement II: The total kinetic energy of the molecule is zero at absolute zero.

Answer: D
π‘ Solution & Explanation
At absolute zero, real gases liquefy and solidify, so their volume never becomes zero (Statement I is incorrect). Statement II is correct because the translational kinetic energy of ideal gas molecules (1.5 kT) becomes zero at 0 K.
