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

Options

A.
B.
C.
D.

Explanation

To determine which plot does not represent Boyle's Law, we need to understand the relationship described by Boyle's Law itself. Boyle's Law states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure (P) of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume (V). This can be mathematically expressed as:

\[ PV = k \]

where \( k \) is a constant.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understand Boyle's Law**:
- Boyle's Law states that \( P \propto \frac{1}{V} \) at constant temperature and for a fixed amount of gas.
- This means that as the volume increases, the pressure decreases, and vice versa.

2. **Identify the Graphs**:
- We need to analyze the given plots (let's assume we have options A, B, C, and D).
- The correct representation of Boyle's Law should show a hyperbolic curve when plotting pressure (P) against volume (V).

3. **Check Each Plot**:
- **Plot A**: If this plot shows a hyperbolic curve, it represents Boyle's Law correctly.
- **Plot B**: If this plot shows a linear relationship (straight line) between P and V, it does not represent Boyle's Law.
- **Plot C**: If this plot shows a log-log plot of P versus \( \frac{1}{V} \), it can still represent Boyle's Law since it can be derived from the equation.
- **Plot D**: If this plot shows a relationship that does not fit the inverse proportionality (e.g., a positive slope), it does not represent Boyle's Law.

4. **Determine the Incorrect Plot**:
- After analyzing the plots, if Plot B shows a linear relationship, it is the one that does not represent Boyle's Law.
- If Plot D also shows a positive slope, it would also be incorrect.

5. **Conclusion**:
- The plot that does not represent Boyle's Law is the one that shows a linear relationship or any other relationship that contradicts the inverse relationship between pressure and volume.

### Final Answer:
- The plot that does not represent Boyle's Law is Plot B (or Plot D if applicable).
