The slope of the plot between `pV` and `p` at constant temperature is

A

negative

B

positive

C

`1//2`

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
According to Boyle's law , we have
`pV = constant (n,T constant)`
The value of the constant depends on the number of moles `(n)` and temperature `(T)` . Thus , the plot of `pV` against `p` at constant temperature is a horizontal line:

Thus, the slope is zero.
