A fixed amount of an ideal gas is held at constant temperature.
The hyperbolic curve of P vs V at constant T illustrates which relationship?
PV = nT
P and V are inversely proportional (Boyle's Law)
P and V are directly proportional
Charles's Law
Explanation
At constant n and T, PV = constant; this hyperbolic shape is the signature of Boyle's Law (P proportional to 1/V).
