For 1 ~mol of an ideal gas at a constant temperature T , the plot of ( P) against ( V) is a ( P : Pressure, V : Volume)
Options
- AStraight line parallel to x -axis.
- BStraight line with a negative slope.
- CCurve starting at origin.
- DStraight line passing through origin.
Correct answer
B. Straight line with a negative slope.
Step-by-step solution
According to Boyle's law, P V= constant P+ V= constant P=- V+ constant Hence, the plot of P vs V is straight line with negative slope.
