Problems

Problem :

Give four different definitions of the chemical potential μ , as derivatives of the different energies we have defined.


Problem :

Give two definitions of the entropy σ in terms of derivatives of the different energies we have defined.


Problem :

Using the definition of temperature that uses the enthalpy, give an expression for the temperature in terms of U , σ , p , and V , following the method used to derive an expression for the pressure above.


Problem :

Derive the Maxwell relation that relates a derivative of μ with a derivative of σ .


Problem :

Derive the Maxwell Relation that relates a derivative of τ with a derivative of V .
