    Chemical Thermodynamics

    • The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.

    Key Concepts

    • Entropy, in the context of chemical thermodynamics, is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system, often denoted by the symbol 'S'.

    Important Facts

    • The first law of thermodynamics is a fundamental principle in chemical thermodynamics, governing the relationships between heat, work, and energy.
    • Entropy is a state function, meaning that only the change in entropy (ΔS) is significant, not the absolute value of entropy.
