Boyle's law states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas increases as its pressure decreases. Likewise, the volume of a gas decreases as its pressure increases. Charles's Law states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of the gas increases as its temperature increases. Likewise, the volume of the gas decreases as its temperature decreases. Look at the above graph illustrating a gas law. What variable belongs on the graph's unlabeled axis?

Time
Pressure
Temperature
Volume

"the volume of a gas decreases as its pressure increases"

What do you think the x-axis should be labelled?

The answer was Pressure

abdullahm · Answer

That is correct! If you look at the statement I told you to read, the only two things mentioned are volume and pressure. Volume is already taken for the y-axis. That leaves pressure for the x-axis.
