The bulk modulus of mercury is If a drop of benzene with a volume is moved from a vacuum chamber to a high-pressure chamber with , the volume of the droplet A) increases by 1.14× 10^-4 mm³ . B) increases by 1.14× 10^-7 mm³ . C) doesn't change. D) decreases by 1.14× 10^-4 mm³ . E) decreases by 1.14× 10^-7 mm³ .

Bulk modulus is the ratio of change in pressure to the fractional change in volume. $$B=-V\frac{dP}{dV}$$$$dV=\frac{-V}{B}dP$$$$dV=\frac{-0.001	imes 10^{-3}}{2.8	imes 10^{10}}	imes 10^5$$$$dV=-1.14	imes 10^{-7}mm^3$$
