(ii) V vs P
(iii) PV vs P

Answer 1

V Vs 1/p picnic offish picnic

Answer 2

Boyle's Law

Explanation:

Please see the attached picture for the graphs.

Boyle's law states that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature.

P1V1 = P2V2

(i) The graph of V against 1/P is a straight line through the origin. This means that the measured volume is inversely proportional to its pressure.  

(ii) The graph of V vs P is a hyperbola at a constant temperature.

(iii) The graph of PV vs P is a straight line parallel to the x-axis for ideal gas.
