Gas Laws & Ideal Gas Equation

In the given (V −- T) diagram, what is the relation between pressure P1 and P2?

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. At constant PP: V=(nRP)TV = \left(\dfrac{nR}{P}\right)T, so slope tan⁡θ=nRP∝1P\tan\theta = \dfrac{nR}{P} \propto \dfrac{1}{P}.
  2. θ2>θ1⇒tan⁡θ2>tan⁡θ1⇒P2<P1\theta_2 > \theta_1 \Rightarrow \tan\theta_2 > \tan\theta_1 \Rightarrow P_2 < P_1
  3. So the answer is (a) P2<P1P_2 < P_1.
