Question: Water is compressed from 100 kPa to 5000 kPa at constant temperature. The initial density of water is 1000 kg/m 3 and the isothermal compressibility

Water is compressed from 100 kPa to 5000 kPa at constant temperature. The initial density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and the isothermal compressibility of water is α = 4.8 × 10–5 atm–1 . The final density of the water is

(a) 1000 kg/m3 

(b) 1001.1 kg/m3 

(c) 1002.3 kg/m3

(d ) 1003.5 kg/m
