Pressure required to increase the density of water by about 1% is ____________________ atmosphere?

Correct answer: C. 200

  • A. 10
  • B. 50
  • C. 200
  • D. 1000

Explanation

Using water's bulk modulus of about 2.2 GPa, a 1% density increase requires roughly 22 MPa, or about 217 atmospheres. Therefore, 200 atm is the closest option.
