Define an adiabatic process.
Think about what happens when the walls of a system are insulated.
What does Joule's experiments signify?
Consider the different methods used to perform the work.
What is an adiabatic process?
Focus on the definition of adiabatic.
In Joule's experiments, what did he demonstrate?
Consider the relationship between work and temperature change.
A container holding 2kg of water is stirred mechanically until its temperature rises from 20°C to 25°C. Calculate the work done if the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 kJ/kg°C.
Recall the relationship between internal energy changes and work done.
Explain how negative work done by a system can impact its temperature, using an example.
Think about the relationship between work done and temperature change.
