A measure of relative change in density $\begin{array}{l}\rho\end{array}$ or molar volume $\begin{array}{l}V_m\end{array}$ under a unit pressure $\begin{array}{l}p\end{array}$ variation:

(1)	$\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle c = \frac{1}{\rho} \left( \frac{\partial \rho}{\partial p} \right)_T = - \frac{1}{V_m} \left( \frac{\partial V_m}{\partial p} \right)_T\end{array}$
