Find an expression for the isothermal compressibility consistent with this equation.
The Tait equation for liquids is written for an isotherm as:
where V is molar or specific volume, V0 is the hypothetical molar or specific volume at zero pressure, and A and B are positive constants.
By definition, the isothermal compressibility is
So, to find the isothermal compressibility, we just need to take the derivative of V with respect to P. For the Tait equation, we have
