Quick revision notes for Thermodynamics — Madhya Pradesh Board Class 11 Chemistry. Key concepts, formulas, and definitions for last-minute revision.
Key Topics to Revise
Thermodynamic Terms and System Classification
- System: Part of universe under study where observations are made
- Surroundings: Everything other than the system that can interact with it
- Universe = System + Surroundings
Internal Energy and First Law of Thermodynamics
- Internal Energy (U): Total energy of a system including kinetic and potential energies of all particles
- Internal energy changes when: heat passes in/out, work is done on/by system, matter enters/leaves
- Work (w): Energy transfer due to force acting through distance
Enthalpy and Heat Capacity
- Enthalpy (H): H = U + PV, useful for constant pressure processes
- At constant pressure: ΔH = qp (heat absorbed equals enthalpy change)
- At constant volume: ΔU = qV
Calorimetry and Enthalpy Measurements
- Calorimetry: Experimental technique to measure energy changes
- Bomb Calorimeter: Measures ΔU at constant volume (qV)
- Coffee Cup Calorimeter: Measures ΔH at constant pressure (qp)
