The difference between isothermal compressibility and adiabatic compressibility for an ideal gas is____________________?
Correct answer: B. +ve
- A. 0
- B. +ve
- C. -ve
- D. ∞
Explanation
For an ideal gas, κT = 1/P whereas κS = 1/(γP), with γ greater than one. Hence κT - κS is positive, so the isothermal compressibility is larger.
