Question

The following statement (s) is (are) correct
(1) A plot of $\log KP$ versus $1 / T$ is linear
(2) A plot of $\log ( X )$ versus time is linear for a first order reaction $X \longrightarrow P$
(3) A plot of $\log P$ versus $1 / T$ is linear at constant volume
(4) A plot of P versus $1 / V$ is linear at constant temperature.

• A. 1, 2
• B. 2, 4
• C. 2, 3
• D. 1, 4

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

At constant temperature
$V = K / P$ (Boyle's law)
So, $P=K / V$
As such, a graph plotted between $P$ and $1 / V$ is linear at a constant temperature.
