Heat and Thermodynamics 6 Question 9

13. Which of the following graphs correctly represent the variation of β=dV/dpV with p for an ideal gas at constant temperature?

(2002,2M)

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 13. (a)

Solution:

  1. β=dV/dpV= compressibility of gas

=1 Bulk modulus of elasticity 

and β=1p under isothermal conditions.

Thus, β versus p graph will be a rectangular hyperbola.
