Question
select the correct answer.
what is the lowest temperature that a substance can reach?
a. freezing point
b. absolute zero
c. minimum temperature
d. there is no lowest temperature
Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion stops. It is defined as \(0\) Kelvin (\(0\ K\)) or \(- 273.15^{\circ}C\). The freezing point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid, which varies for different substances. The statement "minimum temperature" is too vague without context. And according to the laws of thermodynamics, absolute zero is the theoretical lowest temperature limit.
