ESCIb) The following temperature/composition data were obtained for a mixture of two liquids A and B at 1,00 atm, where x is the mole fraction in the liquid and y the mole fraction in the vapour at equilibrium.
1.14 The isothermal compressibility K of a gas is defined in Problem 1.17, and its value for an ideal gas is shown to be 1/P.Use implicit differentiation of V with respect to P at constant T to obtain the expression for the isothermal compressibility of a van der Waals gas. Show that in the limit of infinite volume, the value for an ideal gas is obtained.
