The document discusses Maxwell's relations in thermodynamics, which are equalities that relate the first derivatives of the thermodynamic potentials, such as relating the partial derivatives of enthalpy and entropy with respect to pressure and volume. Maxwell obtained four such relations by applying the rules of partial differentiation to the thermodynamic potentials. The relations allow interconversion between various thermodynamic quantities and are useful in solving thermodynamic problems.
