Document Summary

We can measure work done by the gas in a reaction using a vessel that has been fitted with a piston: w= - p v. When a gas is compressed, the surroundings do work on the gas. When a gas expands, the system does work on the surroundings. Heat is defined as the energy that flows into or out of a system because of a difference in temperature between the system and its surroundings. Heat flows from a region of higher temperature to one of lower temperature ( zeroth law of thermodynamics) Most processes take place in a laboratory at constant atmospheric pressure and the only work done is pressure-volume work. An important exception is for electrochemical reactions (as in a battery). For a process that includes only pv work, we can account for the heat flow b y measuring the enthalpy of the system. More heat is produced when more mass reacts (exothermic reaction)
