The compressibility of water is `46.4 xx 10^(-6)//atm`. This means thatA. the bulk modulus of water is `46.4 xx 10^(6)atm`B. volume of water decrease by `46.4` one-millionths of the original volume for each atmosphere increase in pressureC. when water is subjected to an additional pressure of one atmosphere, its volume decreases by `46.4`D. when water is subjected to an additional pressure of one atmosphere, its volume decreases by `4.10^(6)` of its original volume.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`46.4 xx 10^(-6)atm = (1)/(B)`
`B = (1)/(46.4 xx 10^(-4)) rArr B = (P)/(Deltav //v) rArr (Deltav)/(v) = (Deltap)/(B) = 46.4 xx 10^(-6)`
