Question

When pressure increases on a gas, its bulk modulus:
  1. A
    Decreases
  2. B
    Stays same (ideal gas)
  3. C
    Increases (for isothermal ideal gas)
    Correct
  4. D
    Becomes zero

Correct answer

Increases (for isothermal ideal gas)

Explanation

Isothermal ideal gas: B = P. As pressure increases, B increases.
