Question

The absolute temperature T of a gas is plotted against its pressure P for two different constant volumes V1 and V2 where V1 > V2. T is plotted along x-axis and P along y-axis.

Solution

The correct option is B Slope for curve corresponding to volume V2 is greater than that corresponding to volume V1.
From ideal gas equation, PV = nRT
This means that P=nRVT
So, the slope of P-T curve = nRVα1V
this means that more slope => less volume
Since we are given that V2<V1, so we get that
Slope for curve corresponding to volume V2 is greater than that corresponding to volume V1.
So, B is the correct answer.
