In an Isothermal change, the change in pressure and volume of a gas can be represented for three different temperature; as :
- A

- B

- C

- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
In an isothermal process, the temperature remains constant.
-
For an ideal gas, the equation is
-
Since is constant for a given isotherm, we get Hence,
-
Therefore, the - graph for an isothermal change is a rectangular hyperbola.
-
Now compare the three temperatures:
For the same amount of gas, At a given volume , So for the same volume,
-
This means the isotherm corresponding to higher temperature lies above the lower temperature isotherm on the - diagram.
-
So the correct figure must show:
- three hyperbolas,
- with highest,
- then ,
- then lowest.
-
Among the given options, this corresponds to Option B.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
