Show Hint
- \( \left( \frac{\partial A^{(\ell)}}{\partial V^{(\ell)}} \right)_{T,N^{(\ell)}} = \left( \frac{\partial A^{(\nu)}}{\partial V^{(\nu)}} \right)_{T,N^{(\nu)}} \)
- \( \left( \frac{\partial A^{(\ell)}}{\partial N^{(\ell)}} \right)_{T,V^{(\ell)}} = \left( \frac{\partial A^{(\nu)}}{\partial N^{(\nu)}} \right)_{T,V^{(\nu)}} \)
- \( \left( \frac{A + PV}{N} \right)^{(\ell)} = \left( \frac{A + PV}{N} \right)^{(\nu)} \)
- \( \left( \frac{A + TS}{N} \right)^{(\ell)} = \left( \frac{A + TS}{N} \right)^{(\nu)} \)
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Analyze the relations.
The first three options (A), (B), and (C) are correct relations derived from thermodynamic identities. However, option (D) is not correct because the relation \( \left( \frac{A + TS}{N} \right)^{(\ell)} = \left( \frac{A + TS}{N} \right)^{(\nu)} \) is not valid for a general vapor-liquid system, as the specific values of \( A \), \( T \), and \( S \) differ between the liquid and vapor phases.
Step 2: Conclusion.
The relation in option (D) is not correct. Hence, the correct answer is (D).
Final Answer: (D) \( \left( \frac{A + TS}{N} \right)^{(\ell)} = \left( \frac{A + TS}{N} \right)^{(\nu)} \)
