What is the internal energy of a body?

Answer: The sum of the randomly distributed kinetic and potential energies of all its particles.

2.

Definition of \"a closed system\"

Answer: A system where there is no transfer of matter in or out (and its internal energy remains constant so no work is done on the system)

3.

Definition of \"thermal equilibrium\"

Answer: When there is no thermal energy transfer/ internal energy is constant

4.

Definition of \"specific heat capacity\"

Answer: The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1 Kelvin without a change of state

5.

Definition of \"specific latent heat\"

Answer: The amount of thermal energy required to change the state of 1kg of a substance without a change in temperature

6.

Ideal gas assumption 1...

Answer: The gas obeys all the gas laws

7.

Ideal gas assumption 2...

Answer: The gas particles have negligible volume
