Question 10 • Chemistry Honors A

A graph of gas pressure versus the number of particles in a container is a straight line. Which other relationship will have a similar graph?

Answer
A
volume versus pressure, because they are also directly proportional
B
volume versus temperature, because they are also directly proportional
C
volume versus pressure, because they are also inversely proportional
D
volume versus temperature, because they are also inversely proportional

Explanation

At fixed volume and temperature, gas pressure is directly proportional to the number of particles, so the graph is a straight line through the origin. At fixed pressure, volume is directly proportional to absolute temperature, which also produces a straight-line graph. Therefore, the matching relationship is volume versus temperature because they are directly proportional.
