Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Starting with β = (1/V) (V/T)P , this is to be proved that β = - (1/ρ)(P/T)P , where ρ is the density.

Concept Introduction :

Specific heat could be explained as the quantity of heat needed in order to increase the temperature by 10C. From the given relation β = (1/V) (V/T)P , this is to be proved that,

  β = - (1/ρ)(P/T)P.....(1) ,

Here,

  β = isobaric volumetric thermal expansion coefficient.

  V = change in volume

  T = change in temperature
