- Why does an ideal gas satisfy ##\left (\frac{\partial U}{\partial P}\right )_T = 0##?
The book I am reading says that by definition, the ideal gas satisfies the equations
$$PV=nRT\tag{1}$$
$$\left (\frac{\partial U}{\partial P}\right )_T = 0\tag{2}$$
where does (2) come from? In other words, what justifies this equation in the definition above?
