Thermodynamics and Calorimetry Study Notes

Calorimetry and Thermodynamics Quiz Study Notes

What is Calorimetry?

• Calorimetry is the science of measuring heat transfer between systems
• It involves the study of heat changes in chemical reactions and physical transformations

What is Thermodynamics?

• Thermodynamics is the study of energy changes in systems
• It deals with the relationships between heat, work, and energy

Laws of Thermodynamics

• The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics: if two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other
• The First Law of Thermodynamics: energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another
• The Second Law of Thermodynamics: the total entropy of an isolated system always increases over time

Types of Systems

• Open System: matter and energy can be exchanged with the surroundings
• Closed System: energy can be exchanged with the surroundings, but matter cannot
• Isolated System: neither matter nor energy can be exchanged with the surroundings

Heat Transfer

• Conduction: heat transfer through direct contact between particles
• Convection: heat transfer through the movement of fluids
• Radiation: heat transfer through electromagnetic waves
