The graph of pressure (P) against the reciprocal of the volume (I/V) in Boyles’s law is a?

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..
