Density of Compressed Liquid

Category : JEE Main & Advanced

If a liquid of density \[\rho \], volume V and bulk modulus K is compressed, then its density increases.

As density  \[\rho =\frac{m}{V}\] so  \[\frac{\Delta \rho }{\rho }=\frac{-\Delta V}{V}\]                    ...(i)

But by definition of bulk modulus

\[K=\frac{-V\Delta P}{\Delta V}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[-\frac{\Delta V}{V}=\frac{\Delta P}{K}\]                                            ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii) \[\frac{\Delta \rho }{\rho }=\]\[\frac{{\rho }'-\rho }{\rho }=\frac{\Delta P}{K}\]                    [As \[\Delta \rho =\rho '-\rho \]]

or  \[{\rho }'=\rho \left[ 1+\frac{\Delta P}{K} \right]\]\[=\rho [1+C\Delta P]\]   \[\left[ \text{As }\frac{\text{1}}{K}=C \right]\]
