The absolute zero in temperature refers to the minimal possible temperature. It is the temperature at which the molecules of a system stop moving, so it is a really useful reference point.
<h3>Why absolute zero can't be reached?</h3>
It would mean that we need to remove all the energy from a system, but to do this we need to interact with the system in some way, and by interacting with it we give it "some" energy.
Actually, from a quantum mechanical point of view, the absolute zero has a residual energy (so it is not actually zero) and it is called the "zero point". This happens because it must meet <u>Heisenberg's uncertainty principle</u>.
So yes, the absolute zero can't be reached, but there are really good approximations (At the moment there is a difference of about 150 nanokelvins between the absolute zero and the smallest temperature reached). Also, there are a lot of investigations near the absolute zero, like people that try to reach it or people that just need to work with really low temperatures, like in type I superconductors.
So, concluding, why does the concept exist?
- Because it is a reference point.
- It is the theoretical temperature at which the molecules stop moving, defining this as the <u>minimum possible temperature.</u>

Answer:
Explanation:
The vessel is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics. Let suppose the inexistence of mass interaction at boundary between vessel and surroundings, changes in potential and kinectic energy are negligible and vessel is a rigid recipient.
Properties of water at initial and final state are:
State 1 - (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)
State 2 - (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)
The mass stored in the vessel is:
The heat transfer require to the process is:
Answer:
C. Welded contacts on the thermostat
Explanation:
Any fault that keeps the heating element heating when it should not is a fault that will cause the symptom described. The details <em>depend on the design of the brewer</em> (not given).
"A short at the terminals" depends on what terminals are being referenced. The device on-off switch terminals are normally connected together when the brewer is turned on, so a short there may not be observable.
"Welded contacts on the thermostat" will have the observed effect if the thermostat is the primary means of ending the brewing cycle. If the thermostat of interest is an overheat protective device not normally involved in ending the brewing cycle, then that fault may not cause the observed symptom.

If the heating element is open-circuit, no heating will occur. A gasket leak may cause a puddle, but may have nothing to do with the end of the brewing cycle. (Loss of water can be expected to end boiling, rather than prolong it.)
Answer:
A
Explanation:
A because you are continuing to keep moving and thinking.
