Chapter 3, Problem 3.20NP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Using the relation that shows U is a state function, the following equation needs to be derived for an ideal gas.

  $\text{(}\partial {\text{C}}_{\text{v}}/\partial {\text{V)}}_{\text{T}}=0$

Concept Introduction: Thermodynamics is the branch of chemistry that deals with heat exchange between system and surroundings. The thermodynamic process can be classified in two types; isothermal and adiabatic process.

Different thermodynamic properties like enthalpy, entropy, free energy etc. are used to define different properties like volume, pressure and heat capacity.
