What happens to the pV value in the pV vs. p plot for gases like carbon monoxide and methane after the negative deviation?
Options
- AIt remains constant
- BIt continues to decrease
- CIt reaches a minimum value
- DIt increases continuously
Correct answer
C. It reaches a minimum value
Step-by-step solution
