Fun fact: gas pressure changes linearly with temperature. If you make one of these plots at mild conditions you can extraplate the line down to zero pressure and measure where absolute zero temperature is Image

Eiri@lemmy.ca 4 weeks agoWait, does it? Are joules in thermal energy per kelvin a purely linear relationship?

For the most part, it varies by material and state of matter, but assuming the chemical composition doesnt change and no material changes phase, then it is effectively linear.

hmm but there will surely be a lot of phase changes with a drop in energy so substantial. we need our top scientists on this asap
