Question

What would a plot of p versus 1/v look like for a fixed quantity of gas at a fixed temperature?

Answer 1

Straight Line

Step-by-step explanation:

For an ideal gas,

PV = nRT

For a fixed quantity ( constant number of moles) of a gas at fixed temperature

Right side of the equation will be constant

Thus,

PV = C

So, P =
`(C)/(V)` .

Thus P is directly related to
`(1)/(V)`

That's why plot between P and
`(1)/(V)` will be an straight line.
