Charles law Will the volume of the air in the tube actually fall to zero if you lowered the temp of gas to -273 C? why or why not. The 2 main components of air are these 2 gases N2 and O2. ( look up boiling and melting point of these gases to help)

According to Charles's law, for a gas, its volume and the temperature have a direct relation keeping the pressure constant.
This means that the increase in temperature will increase its volume as the kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases, they tend to occupy more and more space. Whereas the temperature fall allows the molecules of a gas to come close to each other and as a result volume decreases.
Therefore, the Charles's law is VT, P being constant.
