For an ideal gas, the plot that is Nonlinear is:

(a)PV vs T

(b)PV vs P, at constant T

(c)P vs V, at constant T

(d)$\ln \mathrm{P}$ vs $\ln \mathrm{V}$ at constant T

Answer

Answer: C ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high

The source book printed no answer; this one was worked out and checked — see the explanation.

Explanation

PV = nRT: PV vs T is linear, PV vs P at constant T is flat, ln P vs ln V is a straight line of slope −1; only P vs V (a hyperbola) is non-linear.
