Chapter 3, Problem 3.13P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For one of the substances in the table 3.2 (we consider acetic acid), 1 kg sample undergoing reversible, isobaric change of state at given conditions, the change in volume ( $\Delta V^t$ ) and work done ( $W$ ) should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The volume expansivity $\beta$ at constant pressure is given by,

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

Here, V is volume and ${\left(\frac{\partial V}{\partial T}\right)}_P$ is change in volume by temperature at constant pressure.
