Answer:

By collecting data from the sealed container and preparing a pressure vs temperature graph, we can use Gay-Lussac's law to determine absolute zero.

Once data is plotted on the graph, we can use the standard linear equation y=mx+b to find the x-intercept by setting y to zero. This is the absolute zero value because this is when pressure is zero.
