For an ideal gas, coefficient of volume expansion is given by

  1. A \(\dfrac{1}{p}\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{1}{p V}\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{1}{R}\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{1}{T}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\dfrac{1}{T}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of state for an ideal gas is \(PV = nRT\). The coefficient of volume expansion \(\gamma\) is defined as \(\gamma = \dfrac{1}{V} \left( \dfrac{\partial V}{\partial T} \right)_{P}\). From the ideal gas equation, \(V = \dfrac{nRT}{P}\). Differentiating \(V\) with…
