Study Notes
Laws of Thermodynamics
- The foundation of the discussion of the role of energy in chemistry is the First Law of Thermodynamics.
Topic 2A Key Idea
- The key idea of Topic 2A is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
Thermodynamic System
- In thermodynamics, the system refers to the specific part of the universe being studied.
- The purpose of dividing the universe into system and surroundings is to isolate the specific area of study and understand how energy is exchanged between the system and its surroundings.
First Law of Thermodynamics
- The First Law of thermodynamics states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant, meaning energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
