Q3 / 160 · WBJEE 2010 · Chemistry

Which of the following thermodynamic relation is correct?

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\mathrm{dG}=\mathrm{VdP}-\mathrm{SdT}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{dE}=\mathrm{PdV}+\mathrm{TdS}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{dH}=-\mathrm{VdP}+\mathrm{TdS}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{dG}=\mathrm{VdP}+\mathrm{SdT}$

Solution

$$ \text { Hints: } \begin{gathered} \mathrm{dG}=\mathrm{dH}-\mathrm{TdS}-\mathrm{SdT}(\text { as } \mathrm{G}=\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{TS} \text { ) } \\ \text { again, } \mathrm{H}=\mathrm{U}+\mathrm{PV} \\ \therefore \mathrm{dH}=\mathrm{dU}+\mathrm{PdV}+\mathrm{VdP} \\ \& \mathrm{dU}=\mathrm{TdS}-\mathrm{PdV} \end{gathered} $$ Thus $d G=(T d S-P d V)+P d V+V d P-T d S-S d T$ $$ =\mathrm{VdP}-\mathrm{SdT} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
