    Proof that Heat Capacity is independent of Pressure for a new Equation of State

    Oh... Is it possible to switch the order of differentiation here? I suppose this is derived from an exact differential? If that's so, then (dS/dP) at constant T is equal to (dv/dT) at constant P...

    Proof that Heat Capacity is independent of Pressure for a new Equation of State

    For a gas that obeys the equation of State P(v-b) = RT, where b is a constant, show that Cp is independent of Pressure, i.e., (\deltaCp/\deltap) at constant T is equal to zero Homework Equations Maxwell Relations H = U+PV dh = TdS + PdV dh/dT at constant P is defined as Cp The...

    Thermo: A Flat Tire and a Pressurized Tank

    Homework Statement We have a tank of air at 7 atm, 30 L, and 293 Kelvin(20 Celsius), and a flat tire with 1atm, 10 L (Constant), also at 293 K (20 C). The valve is opened quickly and closed quickly when the pressure in the tank reaches 6 atm. Using the Ideal gas assumption and taking the...

    Thermodynamics: Enthelpy of Sucrose

    Homework Statement A sample of sucrose, C12H22O11, with mass 0.1265 g, is burned in a bomb calorimeter initially at 298 K. The temperature rises by 1.743 K. To produce the same temperature increase with an electrical heater in this apparatus, it is found to require 2.0823 kJ of energy...

    Thermo - mixing water in a container.

    A partition separates the two compartments of a vessel. The vessel is submerged in a constant temperature bath at 200C. Compartment A contains 2.00 kg of water at 200C, 50.00 bar and compartment B contains 0.983 kg of water at 200C, 1.00 bar. The partition is removed and the water in both...
