Question
The following graph represents the $T - V$ curves of an ideal gas (where $T$ is the temperature and $V$ the volume) at three pressures $P_{1},P_{2}$ and $P_{3}$ compared with those of Charles's law represented as dotted lines.
Then the correct relation is:
Options
A.$P_{2} > P_{1} > P_{3}$
B.$P_{1} > P_{2} > P_{3}$
C.$\ P_{3} > P_{2} > P_{1}$
D.$P_{1} > P_{3} > P_{2}$
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: T–V curves identifying the thermodynamic process]
At same temperature, curve with higher volume corresponds to lower pressure.
$${V_{3} > V_{2} > V_{1} }{\Rightarrow P_{1} > P_{2} > P_{3} }$$(We draw a straight line parallel to volume axis to get this)
