Volume versus temperature graphs for a given mass of an ideal gas are shown in Fig. 13.3 at two different values of constant pressure. What can be inferred about relation between P1 & P2?


By Ideal Gas equation,




where P, V and T are the pressure, volume and absolute temperature; n is the number of moles of gas; R is the ideal gas constant.


Considering the slope in the graph i.e. ,the slope of P2 is greater than slope of P1 ,From (1) slope is inversely proportional to Pressure i.e. P1>P2
