What is the expected shape of a pV vs. p graph for gases at constant temperature?
Options
- AA straight line parallel to the y-axis
- BA straight line parallel to the x-axis
- CA curve
- DA point
Correct answer
B. A straight line parallel to the x-axis
Step-by-step solution
At constant temperature, pV will be constant (Boyle's law), and therefore, the pV vs. p graph for gases will be a straight line parallel to the x-axis.
