Question

Which of the following graph is true for the given mass of gas at a constant temperature?

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Correct option is(B)

Explanation for the correct option(B):

• According to Boyles’ law volume of the given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure at a constant temperature.
• At constant temperature, the relation between PV will be constant.
• Thus the PV versus P graph will be the straight line that is parallel to the X-axis.
• Hence graph(B) is the correct answer.

The explanation for the incorrect option (A)

• According to Boyles’ law volume of the given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure at a constant temperature.
• At constant temperature, the relation between PV will be constant.
• Thus the PV versus P graph will be the straight line that is parallel to the X-axis.
• Hence graph(A) is an incorrect answer.

Explanation for the incorrect option (C)

• According to Boyles’ law volume of the given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure at a constant temperature.
• At constant temperature, the relation between PV will be constant.
• Thus the PV versus P graph will be the straight line that is parallel to the X-axis
• Hence graph(C) is an incorrect answer.

Explanation for the incorrect option (D)

• According to Boyles’ law volume of the given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure at a constant temperature.
• At constant temperature, the relation between PV will be constant.
• Thus the PV versus P graph will be the straight line that is parallel to the X-axis
• Hence graph(D) is an incorrect answer.

Hence the correct option is (B).
