A. hyperbola
B. parabola
C. curve
D. straight line
Correct Answer:
Option A – hyperbola
Explanation
The pressure (p) of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with its volume (v) at constant temperature; i.e., in equation form, pv = k, a constant.
The graph of Boyle’s law is called the PV curve.
This graph of Boyle’s law is not straight but hyperbolic; this is because the statement says that at a constant temperature the pressure and the volume are inversely proportional..
