Question

If gas in a cylinder is maintained at a constant temperature T, the pressure P is related to the volume V by a formula of the following form in which a, b, n, and R are constants. Find dP/dV.

Answer 1

@ misslady5 do you have the formula for this?

Answer 2

P=nRT(V-nb)^-1 - a n^2 V^-2

dP/dV=nRT[-(V-nb)^-2]-[an^2 (-2)V^-3] can you do the next step?

Answer 3

or you can use the quotient rule here if you are familiar with it
