Question

Plots of p versus 1/V at different temperatures.

Answer 1

The graph is a straight line through the origin, verifying that the pressure $\left(P\right)$ is proportional to $\left(1/V\right)$, verifying Boyles Law. Also all values of $p_V$ are the same.

$P\propto 1/V$ $\therefore p=k\left(1/V\right)$

$\therefore$ When different values of pressure are plotted against the reciprocals of the respective volume$\left(1/V\right)$. This graph justifies Boyle’s law because the straight line is obtained which passes through the origin.
