Question

Show that for a closed system, made of two phases coexisting in equilibrium at temperature $T$ and pressure $P$, $\left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial V}\right)_s = -\frac{T}{C_V}\left(\frac{dP}{dT}\right)^2$, where $dP/dT$ is the slope of the phase equilibrium phase.

          Show that for a closed system, made of two phases coexisting in equilibrium at temperature $T$ and pressure $P$,
$\left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial V}\right)_s = -\frac{T}{C_V}\left(\frac{dP}{dT}\right)^2$,
where $dP/dT$ is the slope of the phase equilibrium phase.

Show that for a closed system, made of two phases coexisting in equilibrium at temperature T and pressure P,
((∂ P)/(∂ V))s = -(T)/(CV)((dP)/(dT))^2,
where dP/dT is the slope of the phase equilibrium phase.
