(N/A) According to Boyle's Law,explanation of the graph of $pV \rightarrow p$ (constant temperature): The theoretical value is $pV = nRT$. At constant temperature and all pressures,a line parallel to the $X$-axis is obtained for the graph $pV \rightarrow p$ for an ideal gas.
But for real gases,the graph $pV \rightarrow p$ is not a straight line. As shown in the graph at constant temperature:
This graph is not a straight line for a real gas and shows deviation from ideal gas behavior. Moreover,it is not parallel to the $X$-axis as it is for an ideal gas.
Graph Type-$I$: The graphs for Dihydrogen $(H_2)$ and Helium $(He)$ are straight lines,and $pV$ increases with increasing pressure.
Graph Type-$II$: The real gases Carbon monoxide $(CO)$ and Methane $(CH_4)$ show a different type of curve.
$\rightarrow$ According to the curve,$CO$ and $CH_4$ show negative deviation from ideal gas behavior. The value of $pV$ decreases with an increase in pressure,reaches a minimum value,and after that,the value of $pV$ increases with increasing pressure,intercepting the ideal gas line where the deviation becomes zero.
$\Rightarrow$ For some gases,the value of $pV$ increases with increasing pressure,and a continuously positive deviation is observed.
So,real gases do not follow the ideal gas equation under all conditions.
$(B)$ According to Boyle's Law,explanation of the deviation in the graph of $p \rightarrow V$ ($T$ constant):
The graph of $p \rightarrow V$ for a real gas shows deviation from the ideal gas behavior. The $p \rightarrow V$ curve is given in the image,which shows the deviation of a real gas from the ideal gas curve.
