Help please.
According to Boyle's law, pressure is inversely proportional to volume, so prepare a graph of the date with [1/volume] (units=1/mL) on the X-axis and pressure (atm) on the Y-axis. So if my 1st recorded data is gas volume =150mL and its pressure= 1.0 atm, and the 2nd is gas volume=130mL and its pressure= 1.15 atm, 3rd recorded data is gas volume= 110 mL and its pressure is 1.36 atm. Apparently my data is wrong and should graph my x-data as 1/v but I'm not sure what that means I fixed the volumes to 1/150mL and 1/130mL etc and my graph showed me only 1 dot. Where did I go wrong?

i'd do the graph by hand, just because. you should get a straight line

Sadly Its an online program I have to use and I don't know whats wrong with it.

@HappyBunny do you have microsoft exel?

Yes, but we cant turn in an excel file for the work it must be done of the type of graph I was given in the program I'm just confused if my data is graphed wrong.
