Express the volume expansivity and the isothermal compressibility as functions of density rho and its partial derivatives. For water at 50°C and 1 bar, κ = 44.18 × 10 −6 bar −1 . To what pressure must water be compressed at 50°C to change its density by 1%? Assume that κ is independent of P.

Which best describes the first law of thermodynamics as compared to the second law of thermodynamics? a. the first law describes how thermal energy is conserved but not the direction it moves. b. the first law describes the direction thermal energy moves but not how it is conserved. c. the first law describes how thermal energy can be created but not how it can be destroyed. d. the first law describes how thermal energy can be destroyed but not how it can be created.
