The behaviour of gases...

I have a "fill in the missing words" thing to do, and am stuck :frown: ...hoping someone here can help me :biggrin:

"According to Boyles's law, for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, if pV=constant, then p is proprotional to 1/V. So a graph of p against 1/V is a (5) through the (6).

Note: The value of the constant depends on the (7) of the gas and on its (8). The dashed lines show the effects of raising the tempterature."

There is a little diagram of a graph with p plotted against 1/V, and the dashed line is just a steeper gradient.

I've got (5) and (6) as being straight and origin...but I'm not sure what (7) and (8) are? :confused: Volume, mass, pressure and temperature are the words left on my "words to use" list. Can anybody help pleeeeease? :tongue:
Volume and temperature for 7 and 8. :smile:

I think that depends on the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
So if T is constant, P is proportional to 1/V.

It is the base of the answer???
