How to find an equation relating dp and the differentials dv and dt from the ideal gas law pV=RT?
2 Answers

pV = n * R * T
That's the Ideal Gas Law
Use the product rule
P * V = n * R * T
P * dV/dt + V * dP/dt = n * R * dT/dt
n and R are kept as constant, so we can represent them as k
P * dV/dt + V * dP/dt = k * dT/dt
V * dP/dt = k * dT/dt - P * dV/dt
dP/dt = (k * dT/dt - P * dV/dt) / V

pV=RT......(i)
Differentiatiing partially gives
pdV+dpV=RdT....(ii)
Dividing (ii) by (i) gives
(pdV+dpV)/pV=RdT/RT
→dv/V+dp/p=dT/T
