Q231

The difference between isothermal compressibility and adiabatic compressibility for an ideal gas is

A.
0
B.
+ve
Answer
C.
-ve
D.

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
By  Equations at constant entropy
    and  

Since, is always greater than the ratio of isothermal compressibility and isentropic (reversible adiabatic) process is always greater than the difference is greater than zero.
