The pressure p of a gas is plotted against its absolute temperature T for two different constant volumes, V1 and V2. When V1>V2 , the
Curve for has a greater slope than that for
At constant volumes P∞T
P = constant T; PV = nRT ∴P=nRVT
Slope =m=nRV∵V2<V1
m1m2=V2V1∴m1<m2 is curve for V2 has a greater slope than for V1
