Which of the following is not a Maxwell equation?

(∂T/∂V) = -(∂p/∂S) (∂T/∂p) = -(∂V/∂S) (∂p/∂T) = (∂S/∂V) (∂V/∂T) = -(∂S/∂p)

The first TdS equation is

TdS=Cv*dT + T(∂T/∂p)dV TdS=Cv*dT – T(∂p/∂T)dV TdS=Cv*dT + T(∂p/∂T)dV TdS=Cv*dT – T(∂T/∂p)dV

The second TdS equation is

TdS=Cp*dT + T(∂V/∂T)dp TdS=Cp*dT – T(∂V/∂T)dp TdS=Cp*dT + T(∂T/∂V)dp TdS=Cp*dT – T(∂T/∂V)dp

For a system which undergoes an infinitesimal reversible process between two equilibrium states, the change in internal energy is

dU = pdV – TdS dU = TdS + pdV dU = TdS – pdV dU = -TdS – pdV

The energy equation is given by

(∂U/∂V) = T*(∂p/∂T) + p (∂U/∂V) = T*(∂p/∂T) – p (∂U/∂V) = -T*(∂p/∂T) – p (∂U/∂V) = p – T*(∂p/∂T)
