When pressure is applied to a liquid its volume decreases


Please see attached file for full problem description.

1) when pressure is applied to a liquid, its volume decreases. Assuming that the isothermal compressibility is independent of pressure, derive an expression for the volume as a function of pressure.

2. calculate alpha and the isothermal compressibility KT

i) for an ideal gas

ii) for a gas for which P(Vm - b) = RT
