Derive the Maxwell relation (frac{partial T}{partial V})_{S} = -(frac{partial P}{partial S})_{V} using the internal energy U. Then derive an analogous Maxwell relation from each of the other three thermodynamic identities (for H, F, and G). Hold N fixed in all partial derivatives.

(a) Write down the total differential for the Helmholtz free energy. You should have three terms. (b) Use your result to derive three different Maxwell relations connecting different partial derivatives of thermodynamic quantities. (c) Consider now the total differential of U, and neglect the chemical potential terms assuming N is constant. From an appropriate derivative, and using one of your Maxwell relations from above, show that,

Derive the Maxwell equations for F (Helmholtz Free Energy) and G (Gibbs Free Energy) with “for all mathematical stages"? What is the condition of being a state function, and which of the parameters E (Internal energy), Q (Heat), W (Work), S (Entropy) are not the state function? Why is that?
