Using the Gibbs free energy , derive the Maxwell relation
Define the notions of heat capacity at constant volume, , and heat capacity at constant pressure, . Show that
Derive the Clausius-Clapeyron relation for along the first-order phase transition curve between a liquid and a gas. Find the simplified form of this relation, assuming the gas has much larger volume than the liquid and that the gas is ideal. Assuming further that the latent heat is a constant, determine the form of as a function of along the phase transition curve. [You may assume there is no discontinuity in the Gibbs free energy across the phase transition curve.]
