Enthalpy derivation differential equation

In summary, the derivation of the enthalpy differential equation involves exploring the relationship between enthalpy (H), internal energy (U), pressure (P), and volume (V). The equation is expressed as dH = dU + PdV + VdP, where dH represents the differential change in enthalpy. This derivation considers the first law of thermodynamics, incorporating the effects of heat transfer and work done on or by a system. The equation is essential for understanding thermodynamic processes and systems, particularly in relation to energy changes during phase transitions and chemical reactions.

Homework Statement
A state equation for a certain gas is ##(P + b)v = RT## and its internal energy is ##u = aT +bv +u_o##

show that $$(\frac {\partial H} {\partial v})_P = \frac {C_p T} {v}$$

Good evening,
unfortunately I'm pretty lost in this problem.

I tried to use the chain rule $$(\frac {\partial H} {\partial v})_P = (\frac {\partial H} {\partial T})_P (\frac {\partial T} {\partial v})_P$$ and using some Maxwell relations but it doesn't work very well.
I know that $$T = (\frac {\partial H} {\partial S})_P$$ but I don't know how I would get to the answer.

I would be very happy if somone helped me.

Thanks.

All you need to do is to use the gas law. The Maxwell relation is unnecessary for this problem.
