Document Summary

Thermodynamics - the study of the relationship between heat and other forms of energy involved in a chemical or physical process. Used to predict whether a process will occur under specified conditions. Processes that require the application of an external force = nonspontaneous. First law of thermodynamics - essentially the law of conservation of energy applied to thermodynamic systems (total energy remains constant) Standard conditions with the degree = 25* c; standard temp = 237 k. Internal energy u - the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the particles making up the system. State function not affected by the path. Can change as the result of transfers of energy (energy flows) into or out of the system. The change of internal energy = the sum of the energy transfers. Change in internal energy of a system u = heat plus work (q + w) Energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transferred and transformed.
