Show how it is possible to get the other state functions, G, A, and H, from just S and U.
at constant volume
dU = dq + dw(1st law)
dS = dq/T(2nd law)
T is known dS is known so dq is known from 2nd law
and from first law dw is also known because dU and dq are known
At constant volume, dV = 0, and we have
dU <= TdS
or
dU - TdS <= 0
Since T and V are held constant, we can write this expression as
d(U - TS) <= 0
Thus, we can define a new state function, A = U - TS.
dA <= 0
dH = dU + PdV + VdP = TdS + VdP
dG = dA + PdV + VdP = -SdT + VdP
