Question

Once again, you have a thin metal sphere of unknown fixed volume that contains helium gas. Just like you would do in the lab you dip the sphere into baths at various temperatures and record the resulting pressure inside the sphere.

The final numerical goal of this lab is to determine the Absolute Zero Temperature in compose C, that is the temperature at which the pressure inside the sphere will be zero. To do so you will plot the measured pressure versus baths' temperature measured in compose C. Which of the following graphs best represents the graph you will obtain in the lab?

If you were to have smaller amount of gas in the same sphere and repeat the measurement, what would be different about the resulting curve?

A. The slope of the resulting line will be smaller but it will still go through the origin

B. The slope and the y-intercept of the resulting straight line will be smaller    

C. Resulting monotonously increasing curve will still go through the origin but will level off at a smaller value

D. The negative slope of the resulting straight line will be smaller but the y-intercept will be larger

E. Resulting hyperbola (inverse of the temperature) will be much drop off more rapidly as temperature increasesImpossible to tell without knowing the volume of the sphere

Explanation / Answer

Correct option is (B)

Initially the sphere have some pressure, so it have intercept. At perticular temperature pressure becomes zero. We can observe this behaiuor from grapgh (B)
