Document Summary

Thermodynamics is the study of these energy transfers: work done on a system is a positive quantity (compressed); work done by a system is a negative quantity (expansion) Measured in joules, so 1 l*atm=101. 325 j: energy transfer as heat (q) occurs whenever there"s a temperature difference between a system and its surroundings. When q is negative, it"s exothermic so heat is released. When q is positive, it"s endothermic so heat is absorbed: energy change of the system: u =q+w. Mathematical expression of the 1st law of thermodynamics. State function because depends only on the state of the system and not how the state is achieved. Work and heat are energy transfer functions because their values depend on how the energy transfer is carried out; however, their sum is a state function. State functions are uppercase letters (p, v, t, u) 14-2 enthalpy: state function (h, h=u+pv o o. H= u +p v at constant pressure. 14-3 h rxn u rxn.
