Chapter 1, Problem 1.60E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The units for $\alpha$ and $\text{κ}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Generally, gaseous systems are used to study the thermodynamic properties since, the gaseous systems are well behaved. Intriguingly, the change in the state variables, when a certain state variable is changed can be determined. Thus, the gaseous systems are important in analyzing thermodynamic properties. In this regard, a few partial derivatives can be considered as basic properties of the gas. The two important partial derivatives of having significant interest are; 1) expansion coefficient of a gas $(\alpha )$ 2) isothermal compressibility $\text{(κ)}$ of a gas.
