Question

(a) For liquid benzene β = 9.30 x 10-5 atm-1 at 20 °C and 1 atm pressure. 
Utilizing the equation derived ln(v2/v1)=α(T2-T1)-β(P2-P1) and assuming β to be 
independent of pressure, find the percentage change in volume of a 
sample of benzene on being compressed at constant temperature from a 
pressure of 1 atm to a pressure of 11 atm. (b) What would be the 
percentage change in volume of an ideal gas compressed over the same 
pressure interval at constant temperature?
