The isothermal compressibility of a fluid is the relative change of volume with pressure at constant temperature

Question:

The isothermal compressibility of a fluid is the relative change of volume with pressure at constant temperatureβ = −(1/V)∂V/∂p|T. Qualitatively describe and sketch the compressibility of water as a function of temperature from 0 C to 1000 C, at a pressure of 1 atm and at the critical pressure pc ≅ 22.06 M Pa. What is the compressibility at the phase transition from liquid to vapor?
