Ni initially at 300 K and 1 atm is taken through 2 separate processes a. An isobaric change in temperature to 900 K
b. An isothermal compression to 900 atm
i. For b, first solve by assuming that the volume of Ni is constant within the pressure range stated in the problem.
ii. Secondly, solve by assuming that the volume of Ni is not constant but depends on pressure by the expression
() = ( )[1 + ( − )]
