Homework Statement
:[/B]
A gas obeying the equation of state PV=RT undergoes a hypothetical reversible process <br /> PV^\frac{5}{3} e^\frac{-PV}{E_0} = c_1 Can we prove that the thermal compressibility of the gas undergoing this process tends to a constant value at very high temperature? Here, E_0 and c_1 are constants with dimensions.
Homework Equations
The thermal compressibility of a gas is given as \kappa = \frac{-1}{V} \frac{\delta V}{\delta P}
The Attempt at a Solution
First I tried to find the thermal compressibility using the above differential equation, considering the reversible process given. I made use of the equation of state PV = RT, to substitute RT for PV. My result contains a term P, which cannot be cancelled, or substituted to yield a constant value, at very high temperatures.
Any solution, or comment?
