Document Summary

Thermodynamics is the study of energy and its transformations. Thermochemistry is a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the heat involved in chemical and physical changes. When energy is transferred from one object to another, it appears as work and heat. System : part of the universe we are focusing on. The first law of thermodynamics states that the total energy of the universe is constant. Energy is conserved, and is neither created nor destroyed. Energy is transferred in the form of heat and/or work. The si unit of energy is the joule (j). The calorie(cal) was once defined as the quantity of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 c. U = q + w to determine u, both heat and work must be measured. The most common chemical work is pv work the work done when the volume of a system changes in the presence of an external pressure.
