    How to Derive Van der Waals Equations from Thermodynamic Relations?

    i have managed to show that p+\frac{a}{v^{2}}=\frac{RT}{v-b}=T(\frac{\partial p}{\partial T})_{v} and that \frac{a}{v^{2}} = (\frac{\partial u}{\partial v})_{T} but am now unsure where to go or if this is even the right path to take

    How to Derive Van der Waals Equations from Thermodynamic Relations?

    Homework Statement For any Pure Substance, use the relation (1) to show that for a Van der Waals gas, over a range of conditions where c_{v} is effectively constant, that equation (2) gives equations (3) and (4)Homework Equations (1) ~ Tds = du + pdv (2) ~ c_{v}dT + T \frac{\partial...
