**Problem 3:**

A possible equation of state for a gas takes the form:

\[ P \cdot V = R \cdot T \cdot e^{-\frac{\alpha}{VRT}} \]

where \(\alpha\) and \(R\) are constants. \(P, V, T\) are the pressure, volume, and temperature of the gas, respectively.

Show that:

\[
\left( \frac{\partial P}{\partial V} \right)_T \left( \frac{\partial V}{\partial T} \right)_P \left( \frac{\partial T}{\partial P} \right)_V = -1.
\]

**Hint:** Take the natural log of this equation before you take the partial derivatives.
