The Maxwell relation derived from the differential expression for the Helmholtz free energy (dA) is________________?
Correct answer: D. (∂S/∂V)T = (∂P/∂T)V
- A. (∂T/∂V)S = - (∂P/∂S)V
- B. (∂S/∂P)T = - (∂V/∂T)P
- C. (∂V/∂S)P = (∂T/∂P)S
- D. (∂S/∂V)T = (∂P/∂T)V
Explanation
For Helmholtz free energy, dA = -S dT - P dV; equality of the mixed second derivatives gives (∂S/∂V)T = (∂P/∂T)V. This is the Maxwell relation in option D.
