Question

State the Boyle's Law. If the graph for Boyle's law is straight line through the origin then state the quantity taken along: a) X-axis , b)Y-axis.(NOTE: Please clearly mention the quantities appropriately by mentioning the axes)

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) X- axis represent (1/P) inverse of pressure

(b) Y-axis represent (V) volume

Explanation:

Boyle's Law States that at constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversly proportional to its pressure. It can be expressed mathematically as

V α 1/P

VPα1

removing the proportionality sign and introducing a constant

VP = k

V₁P₁ = V₂P₂

Where V₁ and V₂ are initial and final volume respectively, P₁ and P₂ are initial and final pressure respectively.

If the graph for Boyle's law is straight line through the origin,

(a) X-axis represent (1/P) inverse of pressure

(b) Y- axis represent (V) volume.
