Lecture 15 - Thermodynamics!
Thermodynamics
Energy can be harnessed to provide heat and work !
It is the quantitative study of the transformation of energy !
Combustion reaction !
Anything + oxygen = carbon-dioxide + water !
Energy transfer
Work and Heat are the two fundamental ways in which energy is transferred to or from a
system.!
System = the chemical reactants and products. The system is our frame of reference and what
we can experimentally measure. Always think from the point of the system. !
Energy is transferred into or out of a system by or into the surroundings. !
System !
The system is allowed to interact with the surroundings. !
The system is closed o from the surroundings so no matter can enter.
But system is influenced by energy (heat etc)!
The system cannot be influenced by anything. Eg: the universe is an
isolated system. !
Adiabatic systems: can only exchange energy in the form of work with the surroundings !
First law of thermodynamics
Energy is neither created nor destroyed, just transferred from one form to another.
energy is transferred in the form of heat (q) and work (w)!
U = q + w
U = the energy !
Q = heat added to the system. !
If q < 0 it is exothermic!
W = work done on the system. !
Change in internal energy
= the heat added to the
system + the extra work
done on the system.

Document Summary

Energy can be harnessed to provide heat and work. It is the quantitative study of the transformation of energy. Energy transfer: work and heat are the two fundamental ways in which energy is transferred to or from a system, system = the chemical reactants and products. The system is our frame of reference and what we can experimentally measure. Always think from the point of the system: energy is transferred into or out of a system by or into the surroundings. The system is allowed to interact with the surroundings. The system is closed o from the surroundings so no matter can enter. But system is in uenced by energy (heat etc) Adiabatic systems: can only exchange energy in the form of work with the surroundings. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, just transferred from one form to another: energy is transferred in the form of heat (q) and work (w)
