Summary:: van der waals
I have a pretty good understanding of implicit differentiation. However I'm stuck on a homework problem and could use some help.
[P + (an^2)/V^2][V - nb] = nRT a,n,b,R are constants
My professor wants me to take the implicit differentiation of P wrt T. She then says solve for P then take the derivative to check your answer. I understand the chain rule and product rule. Could someone show the steps to solving using these rules. I'm used to having 3 intermediate variables as functions of t and seeing it this way is confusing me.
