Flashcards

State function

A property that depends only on the current state of the system, not on how the system got there.

Enthalpy

A measure of the total internal energy of a system, including potential and kinetic energy.

Zeroth law of thermodynamics

Defines the concept of thermal equilibrium: If two systems are each in equilibrium with a third system, they are in equilibrium with each other.

Adiabatic process

A process where heat cannot be transferred to or from the system.
