For Boyle's law verification, if a graph is plotted between 1/V on the x-axis and P on the y-axis, _ graph will be obtained.
Correct answer: B. Straight line
- A. Curved
- B. Straight line
- C. Zigzag
- D. None of these options are correct
Explanation
If a chart is plotted between 1/V on the x-axis and the pressure P on the y-axis then a straight line is acquired. This reveals that the pressure and inverse of the volume are directly proportional to each other.

About Boyle's Law
Boyle's law states that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas varies inversely with its volume when temperature remains constant. Problems use the relationship P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, pressure-volume graphs and volume changes, with constant temperature distinguishing it from Charles's law.
