Formula Sheet — Thermodynamics

Important formulas and equations from Thermodynamics for MHT-CET Chemistry.

Formulas — Thermodynamics

Thermodynamic Terms & System Types

First Law of Thermodynamics & Work

ΔU = q + w
w = -Pₑₓₜ × ΔV
w_rev = -nRT ln(V₂/V₁) = -nRT ln(P₁/P₂)
w_ad = nR(T₂-T₁)/(γ-1)

Enthalpy & Heat Capacity

H = U + PV
ΔH = ΔU + ΔnₑRT
qₚ = ΔH and qᵥ = ΔU
Cₚ - Cᵥ = R

Standard Enthalpies

Δᵣᶠ H° = Σ Δᶠ H°(products) - Σ Δᶠ H°(reactants)
Δᵣ H = Σ Bond enthalpies(broken) - Σ Bond enthalpies(formed)
