Homework Statement
The pressure on 0.01 litres of mercury is increased reversibly and isothermally
from zero to 1000 atm at room temperature (293 K). Mercury has a coefficient
of volume expansion β = 1.82 × 10−4 K−1 , and an isothermal compressibility
κT = 4.02 × 10−11 Pa−1 . Note: 1 atm= 1.013 × 105 Pa. Assuming that the
volume, V , changes very little, find
(i) how much heat is transferred in the compression;
(ii) the work done during the compression;
(iii) the change in internal energy.
Homework Equations
T dS= C_p dT -\beta V dP
\oint \frac{\def\dbar{{\mathchar'26\mkern-12mu d}Q} <br /> \dbar}{T}=0
\def\dbar{{\mathchar'26\mkern-12mu d}Q} <br /> \dbar=C_v dT
The Attempt at a Solution
I am attempting to find the final temp so I can implement: \def\dbar{{\mathchar'26\mkern-12mu d}Q} <br /> \dbar=C_v dT
Since the process is reversible, and under a complete cycle \oint \frac{\def\dbar{{\mathchar'26\mkern-12mu d}Q} \dbar}{T}=0 I set dS=0. Getting C_p \int \frac{dT}{T}=\beta T V \int dP Is this correct so far?
