. Consider a non-ideal gas with the equation of state:

where b is a constant.

i) Derive expressions for: (P/T)V and (T/V)P
ii) For a constant temperature process involving this non-ideal gas, show that
(E/V)T=0
(HINT: Start with an expression for dE, and note that one of the Maxwell relations:
(P/T)V = (S/V)T might be helpful).
iii) What does (E/V)T mean physically, and explain WHY this gas exhibits this special property.
iv) What is (E/V)T for an ideal gas
