Question:

Show that isobars and isochores have positive slopes in the single-phase regions of a TS diagram. Suppose that CP = a + bT, where a and b are positive constants. Show that the curvature of an isobar is also positive. For specified T and S, which is steeper: an isobar or an isochore? Why? Note that CP > CV.
