The isothermal compressibility for a gas is same as isothermal compressibility.

The isothermal compressibility for a gas is same as isothermal compressibility. Correct Answer False

The isothermal compression of a gas means that no heat is transferred from the fluid element and there is no friction involved. Thus, isothermal compressibility has additional condition of no fiction along with thermal compressibility.
