Document Summary

Thermodynamics is the study of energy and its transformation to different energy and work. Thermochemistry concerns the study of the quantity of heat absorbed or evolved by chemical reactions. Two forms of energy (e): work (w) and heat (q). The most important form of potential energy in molecules is electrostatic potential energy, eel: units of energy. Closed: exchange energy but not matter with surroundings. Open: exchange matter and energy with the surroundings. Isolated: exchange neither matter nor energy with the surroundings. Internal energy (e) of a system is the sum of all kinetic and potential energies of all components of the system. The change in internal energy, e, is the final energy of the system minus the initial energy of the system: The system exchanges energy with the surroundings by two general ways: either heat (q) or work (w). Path function: quantity whose magnitudes depend on the path followed during a process as well as the end states.
