Which of the following plots does not represent Boyle's law?

Options

A.
B.
C.
D.

Answer

B

Explanation

A plot of `p vs. 1//V` is a straight line passing through the origin. Such graphical behaviour is a characteristic of mathematical equationss of the form `y = mc + C`. In this case, `y = p , m=` the slope of the line (the constant `k_(1)` in Boyle's law), `x = 1//V` , and `C =` the `y` intercept (a constant which is zero in the present instance):
`{:(p=k(1/v)+0 (or pV=k)),(overset(uarr)(y)=overset(uarr)(m)overset(uarr)(x)+overset(uarr)(C)):}`
