You are to create a graph with horizontal and vertical axis. Label "Pressure" on the horizontal axis from O mb to 760 mb. Label "Volume" on the vertical axis from O to 1 mL. Assign values to axes divisions in such a way that you occupy almost all the space on both axes. Now, locate and label the following points:

(90, 0.9)
(100, 0.8)
(400, 0.2)
(600, 0.15)
(760, 0.1)

Final answer:

To graph Boyle's Law, label the horizontal axis 'Pressure (mb)' from 0 to 760 mb and the vertical axis 'Volume (mL)' from 0 to 1 mL. Then plot the points provided, appropriately spacing the axis divisions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Creating a Graph for Boyle's Law

To create a graph representing Boyle's Law, which depicts the inverse relationship between pressure and volume for a given amount of gas at constant temperature, you need to correctly label a horizontal and a vertical axis. The horizontal axis should be labeled 'Pressure (mb)' and range from 0 mb to 760 mb. The vertical axis should be labeled 'Volume (mL)' and range from 0 to 1 mL. The divisions on both axes should be chosen to accommodate the data points and use most of the available graphing space effectively. To plot the provided points (90, 0.9), (100, 0.8), (400, 0.2), (600, 0.15), and (760, 0.1) accurately, ensure each point is placed at the intersection of the corresponding pressure and volume values.

In this specific example, the pressure on the horizontal axis should likely have a division every 100 mb for clarity, and the volume on the vertical axis should have divisions allowing the smallest volume increase to be easily distinguished, such as every 0.1 mL.
