ANSWER:
Solution
Step 1 of 4
In the given problem, water initially at pressure with density undergoes isothermal compression. After compression, the pressure of water is changed toand the change in density of water is . The isothermal compressibility of water is given to be
Here we need to calculate the increase or change in density of water after isothermal compression.
