To Choose: The correct option.
Answer to Problem 3STP
Option A: Boyle’s law
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
According to Boyle’s law, the pressure exerted by a gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas. Mathematically,
Here,
In the given graph, as the volume decreases, the pressure increases which satisfies the above expression correctly. So, the given hyperbolic graph is the graph of Boyle’s law.
Conclusion:
Thus, the correct option is (A).
