Show ##(\frac{\partial S}{\partial G})_Y = -\frac{C_Y}{TS}##

AI Thread Summary
To show that the partial derivative of entropy with respect to Gibbs free energy equals negative heat capacity divided by temperature and entropy, the relationship between Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and temperature must be utilized. The equation dG = dH - TdS - SdT is central to this derivation. The confusion arises from the variable Y, which may actually represent volume (V), complicating the differentiation process. Clarification on the variables and their meanings is necessary to proceed with the solution. Understanding these relationships is crucial for successfully completing the homework problem.

Homework Statement


Show that ##(\frac{\partial S}{\partial G})_Y = -\frac{C_Y}{TS}##

Homework Equations


##G = H-TS, (\frac{\partial H}{\partial T})_Y = C_Y##

The Attempt at a Solution


##dG = dH -TdS -SdT## and ##H## is a state variable so ## dH =\frac{\partial H}{\partial T} dT + \frac{\partial H}{\partial Y} dY##. Not sure how to use the given information or continue from here.

What you have written makes little sense. I do think the ## Y ## my actually be a ## V ##, but to take the partial derivative of ## S ## w.r.t. ## G ## is also rather odd.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
