Problem

A student investigates an ideal gas in a rigid container and produces a pressure-versus-temperature graph. Extrapolating the best-fit line to zero pressure gives a temperature intercept of −285∘C-285^{\circ}\text{C}. What is the percent error of this experimental value compared with the accepted value of absolute zero (–273 °C)? a) 12%12\% b) 3.5%3.5\% c) 4.4%4.4\% d) 8.8%8.8\%
