In an adiabatic process, the greater the compression of a gas, the greater the pressure of that gas. Based on this information, which graph best shows the relationship between the pressure and temperature of a gas?
Answer
A
A graph with temperature on the x axis and pressure on the y axis. The graph is a diagonal line from the origin with a slope of 1.
B
A graph with temperature on the x axis in Kelvin and pressure on the y axis. The graph is an inverse relationship.
C
A graph with temperature on the x axis in Kelvin and pressure on the y axis. The graph is a horizontal line.
D
A graph with temperature on the x axis in Kelvin and pressure on the y axis. The graph is a vertical line.
