Understanding Maxwell's Relations

Maxwell's relations are four equations that relate the partial derivatives of a thermodynamic potential to the partial derivatives of other variables. Clausius-Clapeyron's equation relates the change in vapor pressure of a substance with temperature and can be derived from the first and second laws of thermodynamics. It is an important equation used to study phase transitions and is covered in class notes.
