The relationship between temperature and pressure is a(n) inverse relationship at constant volume.
The relationship between temperature and pressure is a(n) inverse relationship at constant volume. To understand this relationship, we need to remember Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its temperature at constant volume. In other words, as temperature increases, pressure decreases, and vice versa, as long as the volume remains constant. Therefore, the correct answer is choice (a) decrease, inverse.
