Determine the density of seawater at this depth

Reference no: EM13532836

In the Challenger Deep of the Marianas Trench, the depth of seawater is 10.9 km and the pressure is 1.16 x 10^8Pa (about 1.15 x 10^3 atm).

A) If a cubic meter of water is taken from the surface to this depth, what is the change in its volume? (Normal atmospheric pressure is about 1.0 x 10^5 Pa . Assume that k for seawater is 45.8 x 10^-11Pa^-1

B) What is the density of seawater at this depth? (At the surface, seawater has a density of 1.03 x 10^3 kg/m^{3}.)
