Key Topics to Revise

1

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
2

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
3

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
4

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)
