QUESTION:
Problem 45P
Prove that the coefficient of volume expansion for an ideal gas is βdeal gas = 1/T
ANSWER:
Solution 45P
For an ideal gas, the bulk modulus of elasticity is equal to its absolute pressure, .
Step 1
The bulk modulus of elasticity (since ) …..(1)
Now, the coefficient of volume expansion
(from equation (1))
