Study Notes

Chemical Thermodynamics

Energy transformations are studied in chemical thermodynamics
Energy can change from one form to another (e.g., liquid to vapor, solid to liquid, chemical to electrical)
Thermodynamics focuses on energy changes during physical and chemical processes, but not their rates.

System and Surroundings

A system is the part of the universe being studied
Surroundings are the rest of the universe outside the system
The universe is the system plus its surroundings

Types of Systems

Open system: Energy and matter can be exchanged with the surroundings (e.g., coffee cooling in a room).
Closed system: Energy can be exchanged with the surroundings, but matter cannot (e.g., a sealed container).
Isolated system: Neither energy nor matter can be exchanged with the surroundings (e.g., a perfectly insulated container).
