Term
Write the first law of thermodynamics.
Definition
The total energy of an isolated system is conserved.
Term
Write the equation for the change of internal energy, E, and define the terms of
the equation.
Definition

ΔE = q + w

 

q : heat absorbed by the system from the surroundings
w : work done on the system by the surroundings

Term
Write the equation for enthalpy, H, and define the terms of the equation.
Definition

H = E + PV

 

E : internal energy
P : pressure
V : volume

Term
Write the equation for mechanical work.
Definition
w = −PΔV
Term
What is the SI unit of work, and abbreviation?
Definition
the joule, J
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
Term
State the second law of thermodynamics.
Definition
An isolated system evolves towards maximum disorder.
Term
Write the equation for the thermodynamic definition of entropy and define its terms.
Definition

dSrev = dq/T

 

dSrev : change of energy in a system in a reversible process
dq : heat transferred in a reversible process
T : temperature

Term
Write the equation for the Boltzmann entropy and define its terms.
Definition

S = k lnW

 

S : entropy
k : Boltzmann’s constant
W : number of different configurations (“microstates”) of a system

Term
equilibrium
Definition
the state of minimum potential energy
Term
system
Definition
portion of the universe with which we are concerned
Term
surroundings
Definition
everything in the universe except for the portion with which we are concerned
Term
isolated system
Definition
can not exchange matter or energy with its surroundings
Term
closed system
Definition
can exchange energy but not matter with its surroundings
Term
open system
Definition
may exchange matter, energy, or both with its surroundings
Term
internal energy
Definition
all energies that might be exchanged in physical or chemical processes;
includes rotational, vibrational, and translational energies of the molecules as well as
energy available for bonds
Term
mechanical work
Definition
movement through some distance caused by the application of force
