Pressure and Volume - help2
There are three questions in this Question Group. Each question is very similar to one another. The question below is one of the questions.
Version 1:
Which plot best represents the relationship between the pressure and the volume of a sample of gas? (Assume a constant temperature and number of particles.)For a sealed container held at a constant temperature, there is a clear relationship between the pressure of the gas and the volume. The relationship is described in the graphic below. Study the graphic and use it to answer this question.
