|
Term
If the volume, V , stays constant in a process, then what is the change of internal energy, E, in terms of q, P, and V (internal energy, pressure, and volume, respectively)? (Show work.) |
|
Definition
E = q + w = q − PΔV = q − P (0) = q |
|
|
Term
If the pressure, P, stays constant in a process, then what is the change of enthalpy, H, in terms of q, P, and V (internal energy, pressure, and volume, respectively)? (Show work.) |
|
Definition
ΔH = ΔE + PΔV = q + w + PΔV = q − PΔV + PΔV = q |
