The pressure on 15 cm3 of mercury at 0°C is increased reversibly and isothermally from zero to 1000 atm. How much heat is transferred in the process? Assume volume does not change. Standard temperature is 0°C and pressure is 1 atm = 1.00 x 105 Pa. From tables of physical constants, β and κ of mercury remain practically constant within the above stated temperature range. β = 178 x 10-6 K-1 and κ = 3.83 x 10-11 Pa-1.
a) +73.82 J
b) 2.95 J
c) -70.81 J
d) -72.89 J
