Answer

See answer below.

Work Step by Step

Relevant Maxwell relation: $\left(\dfrac{\partial s}{\partial v}\right)_T=\left(\dfrac{\partial P}{\partial T}\right)_v$ From the given equation: $(P-a/v^2)(v-b)=RT$ $P=\frac{RT}{v-b}+\frac{a}{v^2}$ $\left(\dfrac{\partial P}{\partial T}\right)_v=\dfrac{R}{v-b}$ $\left(\dfrac{\partial s}{\partial v}\right)_T=\dfrac{R}{v-b}$
