Question
- which of the following graphs best represents the relationship between the volume and temperature of an ideal gas at constant pressure?
Step1: Recall Charles's Law
For an ideal gas at constant pressure, $V = kT$ (where $k$ is a constant), which is a direct - proportionality relationship.
Step2: Analyze the graph shape
A direct - proportionality relationship between two variables $V$ (volume) and $T$ (temperature) is represented by a straight - line graph passing through the origin. The equation $y = mx$ (in this case $V$ is $y$ and $T$ is $x$) has a positive slope.

The second graph (the one with a straight - line passing through the origin and having a positive slope) best represents the relationship between the volume and temperature of an ideal gas at constant pressure.
