Question

Assume that temperature and number of moles of gas are constant in this problem.

Use the graph to complete the statement below.

This graph shows that pressure and volume have
.
A graph of pressure versus volume has volume in liters from 0 to 7 on the horizontal axis and pressure in atmospheres from 0.0 to 4.0 on the vertical axis. 5 points are marked as follows: 1, 3.0; 2, 1.5; 4, 0.8; 5, 0.5; 6, 0.4.

Answer 1

an inverse relationship — pressure is inversely proportional to volume (as volume increases, pressure decreases; P ∝ 1/V, Boyle's law).
