The volume versus temperature graphs for a given mass of an ideal gas are shown in the figure at two different values of constant pressure. What can be inferred about relation between \(\mathrm{P_1}\) and \(\mathrm{P_2}\)?

1. \(\mathrm{P_1}>\mathrm{P_2}\)
2. \(\mathrm{P_1}=\mathrm{P_2}\)
3. \(\mathrm{P_1}<\mathrm{P_2}\)
4. data is insufficient

(1) Hint: The slope of the V-T graph gives the pressure.

Step 1: Find the slope of the two graphs.

We know for an ideal gas,

p V = n R T \Rightarrow V = (\frac{n R}{P}) T

Slope of the V— T graph,

m = \frac{d V}{d T} = \frac{n R}{P}

[m = slope of V-T graph]

\Rightarrow m \propto \frac{1}{P}

[

∴

nR = constant]

\Rightarrow P \propto \frac{1}{m}

Step 2: Find the relation between two pressures.

hence,

\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}} = \frac{m_{2}}{m_{1}} < 1 [P = p r e s s u r e]

where

m_{1}

is the slope of the graph corresponding to

P_{1}

and similarly

m_{2}

is the slope corresponding to

P_{2}

\Rightarrow P_{2} < P_{1}

P_{1} > P_{2}
