Homework Statement
For a Particular system the following expression for Gibbs free energy is known:
G = -kTN ln (a T^(5/2) / P)
where a is a constant (whose dimensions make the argument of the logarithm dimensionless). Obtain expressions for
a) The entropy, S
b) The connection between V, P, N and T (Called the equation of state)
c) The Internal energy U
Homework Equations
a) For entropy it is known that S = - (dG/dT)p where p denotes constant pressure, I understand that this gives a derivative and I believe I have this section correct.
b) Main confusion comes from where to begin but would assume it is is PV=NKT equation.
c) calculating internal energy. It is known that G = U -TS + PV
The Attempt at a Solution
Nothing besides the problem statement was provided in the question and my main issue is with calculating part b.
As far as I am aware there are many equations of state, but have read here that V= (dG/dP) due to the relationship dG = -SdT + VdP.
Does this differential for V supply me with the correct answer?
I realize it seems that I may have answered my own question, however I just wish to be certain as its a university exam question with little guidance in our supplied texts.
