Question

The scatter plot above shows the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas (at fixed temperature). Which of the following conclusions can be drawn?

A. The pressure of a gas decreases as its volume decreases.

B. There is no relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas.

C. The pressure of a gas increases as its volume decreases.

D. As the volume of a gas increases, the pressure of the gas stays constant.

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The scatter plot above shows the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas in which the pressure of a gas increases as its volume decreases. However, they are not linearly related. Hope this answers the question.
