Homework Statement


We're told to show the attached equation, (partial P/partial V) at constant S = that big mess.

Homework Equations


dE=TdS - PdV

The Attempt at a Solution


lol just went in circles with the commuter and permuted rules. I have no clue how to end up where I'm supposed to be.

  • Typeset homework problem defining isentropic compressibility kappa_S = -(1/V)(dV/dP) at constant S,N and isothermal compressibility kappa_T = -(1/V)(dV/dP) at constant T,N, followed by part (a) asking to show (dP/dV) at constant S equals minus [(dE/dV) at constant P + P] over (dE/dP) at constant V.

Try expressing E as E(V,P) and evaluating the differential of E in terms of partials with respect to V and P.
