Question 1 Report

Which of the following sketches is a graphical representation of Boyle's law?

Answer Details
Boyle's law states that at a constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. This means that as the pressure of a gas increases, its volume decreases and vice versa, while keeping the temperature constant. The graphical representation of Boyle's law is a plot of the pressure of the gas against its volume. The correct sketch that represents Boyle's law will show a hyperbolic curve. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is the sketch that shows a hyperbolic curve, which is option C.
