QUESTION:

Problem 37P

Water at 1 atm pressure is compressed to 550 atm pressure isothermally. Determine the increase in the density of water. Take the isothermal compressibility of water to be 4.80 × 10–5 atm–1.

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.
