0/8
First Maxwell Relation
The first Maxwell relation is derived from the internal energy differential and relates entropy and volume to temperature and pressure.
Second Maxwell Relation
The second Maxwell relation is obtained from the enthalpy differential and connects the specific heat at constant pressure to the expansion coefficient and temperature.
Third Maxwell Relation
The third Maxwell relation comes from the Helmholtz free energy and relates temperature and volume with entropy and pressure.
Fourth Maxwell Relation
The fourth Maxwell relation stems from the Gibbs free energy and connects temperature and pressure changes with respect to entropy and volume.
Clausius-Clapeyron Equation
This equation provides the relationship between the pressure and temperature at phase boundaries and is used to describe the slope of phase transition lines on a P-T diagram.
Heat Capacity Relation at Constant Pressure and Volume
This formula relates heat capacities at constant pressure (Cp) and at constant volume (Cv), highlighting their difference in terms of the gas constant and the volume expansion coefficient.
Gibbs Free Energy Differential Form
This differential form highlights the changes in Gibbs energy as a result of changes in temperature and pressure, being fundamental in understanding chemical reactions and phase changes.
Helmholtz Free Energy Differential Form
This equation describes how the Helmholtz free energy changes with changes in temperature and volume, important for understanding work in closed systems at constant temperature.
