Chapter 10, Problem 15E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A graph of pressure versus volume at a constant temperature is to be sketched. The vertical axis as P and the horizontal axis as V are to be labeled.

Concept introduction:

The volume of the gas shows inverse relation with the pressure at a constant temperature according to a Boyle’s law. Mathematically, it is expressed, as shown below.

$\begin{array}{rll}V& \propto & \frac{1}{P}\\ PV& =& k\end{array}$

Here, $k$ is the proportionality constant.
