What is the purpose of plotting pV vs. p for gases at constant temperature?
Options
- ATo observe the relationship between pV and temperature
- BTo test the validity of Boyle's law
- CTo determine the mass of gases
- DTo investigate the behavior of gases at varying temperatures
Correct answer
B. To test the validity of Boyle's law
Step-by-step solution
Plotting pV vs. p for gases at constant temperature is done to test how well the relation pV = nRT reproduces the actual pressure-volume-temperature relationship of gases, particularly to confirm Boyle's law.
