Start from the four fundamental equations (full differentials of U, H, A, and G) for one mole of a closed simple system (Consider P-V work only), and derive four Maxwell's relations.
Added by Abigail B.
Step 1
Step 1: Start with the fundamental equations for U, H, A, and G for one mole of a closed simple system: For internal energy U: \[ dU = TdS - PdV \] For enthalpy H: \[ dH = TdS + VdP \] For Helmholtz free energy A: \[ dA = -SdT - PdV \] For Gibbs free energy Show more…

(16.1) (a) Using the first law dU = TdS - pdV to provide a reminder, write down the definitions of the four thermodynamic potentials U, H, F, G (in terms of U, S, T, p, V), and give dU, dH, dF, dG in terms of T, S, p, V and their derivatives. (b) Derive all the Maxwell's relations.

Derive the Maxwell relation 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,
