Solution

<p>We want to match each partial derivative in List–I to the appropriate thermodynamic quantity in List–II:</p> <hr /> <h3>1. $\displaystyle\left(\frac{\partial G}{\partial T}\right)_{P}$</h3> <p>A well-known thermodynamic identity is:</p> <p>$ \left(\frac{\partial G}{\partial T}\right)_{P} \;=\; -S. $</p> <p>Hence, </p> <p>$ (A) \quad \longrightarrow \quad -S \quad (\text{II}). $</p> <hr /> <h3>2. $\displaystyle\left(\frac{\partial H}{\partial T}\right)_{P}$</h3> <p>By definition of the heat capacity at constant pressure,</p> <p>$ \left(\frac{\partial H}{\partial T}\right)_{P} \;=\; C_P. $</p> <p>Hence, </p> <p>$ (B) \quad \longrightarrow \quad C_P \quad (\text{I}). $</p> <hr /> <h3>3. $\displaystyle\left(\frac{\partial G}{\partial P}\right)_{T}$</h3> <p>A standard thermodynamic relation (for a single‐component system) is:</p> <p>$ \left(\frac{\partial G}{\partial P}\right)_{T} \;=\; V. $</p> <p>Hence, </p> <p>$ (C) \quad \longrightarrow \quad V \quad (\text{IV}). $</p> <hr /> <h3>4. $\displaystyle\left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial T}\right)_{V}$</h3> <p>By definition of the heat capacity at constant volume,</p> <p>$ \left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial T}\right)_{V} \;=\; C_V. $</p> <p>Hence, </p> <p>$ (D) \quad \longrightarrow \quad C_V \quad (\text{III}). $</p> <hr /> <h2>Final Matching</h2> <p>$ (A) \to \text{(II)}, \quad (B) \to \text{(I)}, \quad (C) \to \text{(IV)}, \quad (D) \to \text{(III)}. $</p> <p>Which corresponds to:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Option C: (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III).</strong></p> </blockquote>
