For a gas obeying Charles's Law, a plot of V versus 1/T will give a straight line passing through the origin.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Charles's Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when pressure is held constant, implying a linear relationship between volume (V) and temperature (T) when plotted on a graph with temperature in Kelvin. Therefore, a plot of V versus T (not 1/T) will give a straight line, but not necessarily passing through the origin unless the gas volume is zero at 0 Kelvin, which is theoretically true but not practical for plotting.
