The temperature at which the volume of a gas becomes zero is called Absolute zero temperature.
Absolute zero is the lowest limit of the thermodynamic temperature scale, a state at which the enthalpy and entropy of a cooled ideal gas reach their minimum value, taken as zero kelvins.
At zero kelvin (minus 273 degrees Celsius) the particles stop moving and all disorder disappears. Thus, nothing can be colder than absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.
According to kinetic theory of gases, the absolute zero temperature is attained when kinetic energy of the molecules is zero.
11) The temperature at which the volume of a gas becomes zero is called

Specific heat at constant volume
The specific heat of a substance my be broadly defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of its unit mass through 1 degree. All the liquids and solids have one specific heat only. But a gas can have any number of specific heats depending upon the conditions, under which it is heated.
Specific heat at constant volume is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a gas throught 1 degree, when it is heat at constant volume.
Specific heat at constant pressure is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a gas through 1 degree, when it is heated at constant pressure.
The ratio of specific heat at constant pressure Cp and specific heat at constant volume Cv is always more than one.
