Which of the following graphs correctly represents the variation of beta=-(dV//dP)//V with P for an ideal gas at constant temperature?

Answer»




Solution :At constant temperature, PV = constant
On differentiation, we get `PdV+VdP=0`
or `(dV)/(dP)=-(V)/(P)or-(dV)/(VdP)=(1)/(P)orbeta=(1)/(P)orbetaP=1`
The EQUATION between `betaandP` is of the form XY = constant which represents a rectangular hyperbola.
THUS, the GRAPH between `betaandP` will be a rectangular hyperbola and it is represented by (a).
