Question

The pressure and volume of a confined ideal gas were studied at 25 degree C and the following data were reported. On a sheet of graph paper, make a graph of pressure (y axis) vs. volume (x axis). Do this by hand. Draw the best straight line through your data. a. Is this graph linear? Circle your choice. Linear Not Linear If the graph is linear, go directly to Step 3 below. If the graph is not linear, continue with this step. a. If the graph from Step 1 is not linear, take the inverse of each volume value (1/V), in decimal form, and list these inverse volume values in the following table. Using a new piece of graph paper, make a second graph, this time of pressure (y axis) vs. inverse volume (x axis). b. Is this graph linear? Circle your choice. Linear Not Linear c. Go to Step 3.

Explanation / Answer

the plot of P vs V is drawn. It is not a straight line.

the plot of P vs 1/V is drawn

this graph is linear.
