Problem 3.33

Use the thermodynamic identity to derive the heat capacity formula

C_V = T \Bigl( \dfrac{\partial S}{\partial T} \Bigr)_V ,

which is occasionally more convenient than the more familiar expression in terms of U. Then derive a similar formula for C_P , by first writing dH in terms of dS and dP.
