Fundamentals

The pressure of a sample of gas is dependent upon the Kelvin temperature of the gas. Increasing the Kelvin temperature increases the pressure. The two quantities are directly proportional to one another.

There are three questions in this Question Group. Each question is very similar to one another. The question below is one of the questions.
 

Version 1:

Which plot best represents the relationship between the pressure and the temperature of a sample of gas?  (Assume a constant volume and number of particles.)  


 

How to Think About This Situation:

For a sealed, rigid container of gas, there is a clear relationship between the pressure of the gas and the Kelvin temperature. The relationship is described in the graphic below.  Study the graphic and use it to answer this question.
