What is thermodynamics?
Think about the relationship between heat and energy.
Define thermal equilibrium.
It indicates stability in a system.
What does the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics state?
Think about conditions of thermal equilibrium.
True or False: All forms of energy can be completely transformed into work.
Recall the limitations set by the second law.
A gas in a cylinder expands isothermally, absorbing 100 J of heat. Calculate the work done by the gas if the temperature remains constant at 300 K.
Recall that in an isothermal expansion for an ideal gas, the work done equals the heat absorbed.
In an adiabatic process, 50 J of work is done on a gas. If the initial internal energy is 200 J, what will be the final internal energy?
For adiabatic processes, the work done affects internal energy directly.
