Chapter 3, Problem 3.33NP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using the chain rule for differentiation, it is to be shown that isobaric expansion coefficient expressed in terms of density is given by $\beta =-1/\rho {(\partial P/\partial T)}_P$ .

Concept Introduction :

The isobaric expansion coefficient, $\beta$ is explained by the below equation:

  $\beta =\frac{1}{V}{\left(\frac{\partial V}{\partial T}\right)}_P$

Here,

V = volume

T = temperature

P = pressure
