Suppose you have gas whose equation of state is P(V - nb) = nRT, where b is a constant. Show that KT, the coefficient of isothermal compressibility for this gas, is equal to: nRT / (Vp^2)

Thermal expansion coefficient α = (dV/dT)p Isothermal compressibility coefficient β = -(1/V)(dV/dp) Prove that: For an ideal gas, the corrected volume is given by p(Vm-b)-RT, where Vm is the molar volume and b is a constant. Additionally, B = βVm.

A gas follows $p V=b p+c_{T}$ on an isothermal curve, where $p$ is the pressure, $V$ is the volume, $b$ is a constant, and $c$ is a function of temperature. Show that a temperature scale under an isochoric process can be established with this gas and is identical to that of an ideal gas.
