Homework Statement
Calculate the volume expansivity, β, for one mole of ideal gas at constant pressure and at room temperature.
Homework Equations
β=1/V(dV/dT)
The Attempt at a Solution
Bit stumped on this one, I'm guessing they want it in terms of P as P is not specified.
I used equation of state with n=1 giving PV=RT
> V=RT/P
> β=P/RT(dV/dT)
As the temperature and pressure are constant would dV/dt be zero?
Its from here I am stuck , any help welcome
Thanks
