When gas is cooled, it contracts, that is, its volume decreases. Absolute zero is largely a theoretical temperature. Scientists have been able to get very close, but due to certain fundamental laws of physics achieving true absolute zero is likely impossible.

After reviewing the ideal gas law and the concept of absolute zero, write a thoughtful, complete, but concise response to the following:

1. Is the volume of an ideal gas really zero if cooled to absolute zero?
