Question: Problem 1 a . Derive the equation d U = [ C p - P ( d e l V d e l T )

Problem 1
a. Derive the equation dU=[Cp-P(delVdelT)P]dr-[T(delVdelT)P+P(delVdelP)T]dP.
b. Determine dU for an ideal gas using the expression in part a. Does dU depend on
temperature or pressure or both?
c. Let =(delVdelT)P and T=(delVdelP)T. Using the van der Waals equation of state
P=RTV-b-aV2, derive expressions for and . For a van der Waals gas, does dU
depend on temperature or pressure or both?
d. Derive an expression for (delUdelV)T in terms of P,T,, and T.
e. For a van der Waals gas, derive the expression for enthalpy change associated with an
isothermal expansion from V1 to V2. How does this compare with the enthalpy change
of an ideal gas undergoing isothermal expansion from V1 to V2?
 Problem 1 a. Derive the equation dU=[Cp-P(delVdelT)P]dr-[T(delVdelT)P+P(delVdelP)T]dP. b. Determine dU for
