explain absolute zero temperature with refrence to charle's law

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Charles's law is simply that volume of an ideal gas is proportional to temperature at constant pressure \[V \propto T\] Volume of an ideal gas at constant pressure is related to the average kinetic energy, which itself is determined by the average speed of the particles. \[V \propto \bar{E}_K\] Hence what can you say about the volume of the gas and the kinetic energy of its particles when temperature drops to zero?

absolute temp is the lowest temp theoratically attainable, i wanted to derive an expression for absolute zero temp @broken_symetry

There is no expression for absolute zero temperature other than \[T=0\]

than what's this check the attachment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's asking you to explain the concept of zero temperature using the temperature dependence of the volume of an ideal gas at constant pressure. Charles's law says that at zero temperature, an ideal gas at constant pressure has zero volume. Volume cannot be negative, hence temperature cannot go below absolute zero. There's no mention of a mathematical expression.
