Maxwell relations

The Attempt at a Solution


Here is how I proceeded. Am I allowed to go from line 1 to 2? It almost seems too simple.
[tex] dU=TdS-PdV \\<br /> (\frac{\partial U}{\partial P})_T=T(\frac{\partial S}{\partial P})_T-P(\frac{\partial V}{\partial P})_T \\<br /> \text{We know that}-(\frac{\partial S}{\partial P})_T=(\frac{\partial V}{\partial T})_P \\<br /> (\frac{\partial U}{\partial P})_T=-T(\frac{\partial V}{\partial T})_P-P(\frac{\partial V}{\partial P})_T \\<br /> (\frac{\partial U}{\partial P})_T=-[T(\frac{\partial V}{\partial T})_P+P(\frac{\partial V}{\partial P})_T][/tex]
 
This seems fine, as long as you are allowed to use the "we know that" equation, which comes from the Maxwell relations.
