A plot of volume (V) versus temperature (T) for a gas at constant pressure is a straight line passing through the origin. The plots at different values of pressure are shown in figure. Which of the following order of pressure is correct for this gas?
(a) p1>p2>p3>p4 (b)p1=p2=p3=p4
(c) p1<p2<p3<p4 (d) p1<p2=p3<p4
Answer: (c) p1<p2<p3<p4
At a particular temperature, pV=constant
Thus p1V1=p2V2=p3V3=p4V4As V1>V2>V3>V4Therefore, p1<p2<p3<p4
