Question 102 of 118
The bulk moduli of ethanol, mercury and water are given as and respectively in units of . For a given value of pressure, the fractional compression in volume is . Which of the following statements about for these three liquids is correct ?
Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) Ethanol Water Mercury
Compressibility
As bulk modulus is least for ethanol (0.9) and maximum for mercury (25) among ehtanol, mercury and water. Hence compression in volume Ethanol Water Mercury
As bulk modulus is least for ethanol (0.9) and maximum for mercury (25) among ehtanol, mercury and water. Hence compression in volume Ethanol Water Mercury
