Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Straight Line

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 = $\frac{C}{V}$ .

Thus P is directly related to $\frac{1}{V}$

That's why plot between P and  $\frac{1}{V}$ will be an straight line.
