Chemistry lab help

So I did a lab called Charle's law lab and I need help with two questions
What temperature must the air be cooled to in order for its volume to be 0 mL
Write two names for describing this temperature?
Thanks!

>0mL
It would have to be at 0k... That's such a silly question.

AKA absolutely zero or impossible to get to with our technology.

theoretically 0k or -273.15C aka absolute zero

I would guess absolute zero (in Kelvin)..but then again, the question doesn't really make sense.
Edit: Well it's not possible as of right now, but it's theoretical. But then again, if anyone took AP Chemistry, the electrons are still in motion at the quantum level, which kind of disproves absolute zero.

I'd assume this is referring to absolute zero, but I can't think of another name for it

it's asking you to interpret this relationship between temp and volume when pressure is constant
