For a fixed amount of an ideal gas at constant temperature, which plot is a straight line passing through the origin?
AV versus P
BV versus 1/P
CPV versus P
DP versus V
Answer: B
Boyle's law gives PV=k, so V=k(1/P): a plot of V against 1/P is a straight line through the origin with slope k. V versus P is a hyperbola and PV versus P is a horizontal line that does not pass through the origin.
