Which statement accurately represents the relationship between pressure and volume?

A. As pressure increases, volume increases.

B. As pressure decreases, volume decreases.

C. As pressure increases, volume decreases.

D. As pressure increases, volume stays constant.



Answer :

To determine the relationship between pressure and volume, we need to analyze the given data from the table:

[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{Pressure (torr)} & \text{Volume (mL)} \\ \hline 750 & 30 \\ \hline 950 & 22 \\ \hline 1150 & 19 \\ \hline 1350 & 15 \\ \hline 1500 & 13 \\ \hline 1650 & 10 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]

We will inspect the changes in pressure and corresponding changes in volume:

- From 750 torr to 950 torr, the volume decreases from 30 mL to 22 mL.
- From 950 torr to 1150 torr, the volume decreases from 22 mL to 19 mL.
- From 1150 torr to 1350 torr, the volume decreases from 19 mL to 15 mL.
- From 1350 torr to 1500 torr, the volume decreases from 15 mL to 13 mL.
- From 1500 torr to 1650 torr, the volume decreases from 13 mL to 10 mL.

From this analysis, we observe a consistent pattern: as the pressure increases, the volume decreases.

Thus, the accurate statement representing the relationship between pressure and volume is:
"As pressure increases, volume decreases."
