The Relation PV = NRT Holds for All Ideal Gases $\gamma$

Question 2

Multiple Choice

The relation PV = nRT holds for all ideal gases. The additional relation PV $\gamma$ holds for an adiabatic process. The figure below shows two curves: one is an adiabat and one is an isotherm. Each starts at the same pressure and volume. Which statement is correct? (Note: ' $\infty$ ' means 'is proportional to'.) $The relation PV = nRT holds for all ideal gases.
