Will all partial derivatives veriables for any state function give -1 when multiplied?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

fx for the Ideal gas law is dP/dT * dT/dV * dV/dP = -1

OpenStudy (frostbite):

And yes this is biology to some level :P

OpenStudy (frostbite):

If people can't see it then take a look at the attachment:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It looks that way from the equation...

OpenStudy (frostbite):

In that case what about Boyle’s law?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

This begins to annoy me seems like it is only dP/dT * dT/dV * dV/dP that results in -1 therefor boyles law can't be used. Here is another example for Van der Waals equation. Can anyone explain me what is going on in general theory?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

If you try to use dV/dT * dP/dV * dT/dP you get some whole other results from the equations, why dP/dT * dT/dV * dV/dP is so special i have no idea about sense they are able to make any state function equal to -1.
