(ALREADY GRADED A+) (LATEST 2024 UPDATE)
Isolated system - ANSWER- system cannot exchange mater nor energy with the rest of the
universe
Closed system - ANSWER- system can exchange energy but not matter with the rest of the
universe
Open system - ANSWER- System can exchange energy and matter with the rest of the universe
First law of thermodynamics - ANSWER- energy in the initial state contained in the system
and the rest of the universe is equal to the energy in the final state of the system and the rest of the
universe
Work - ANSWER- force x displacement
Integral of Fext*dx
Internal energy (U) for an ideal gas - ANSWER- -particles are just points, no V associated.
-collide elastically w/themselves and w/walls
-no intermolecular or interatomic interactions
-no potential energy of reaction, kinetic energy is only source of energy
U=q+w
, Heat capacity (C) - ANSWER- the amount of heat needed by the system to increase its
temperature by 1K.
Molar heat capacity: J/mol*K heat capacity/moles
Real gas equation - ANSWER-
Intermolecular interaction energies - ANSWER- F is proportional to q1q2/r^2
Adiabatic process - ANSWER- q=0
DeltaU = q + w = (3/2)(nRDeltaT)
w = -(3/2)(nRDeltaT)
Isothermal process - ANSWER- DeltaU = 0 = q + w
q = -w
q = nRTln(v2/v1)
Isochoric process - ANSWER- DeltaU = (3/2)nRDeltaT = q
Isobaric process - ANSWER- Constant pressure
The Carnot Cycle - ANSWER-
Isothermal reversible expansion - ANSWER- (see study guide)
w = -integral from V1 to V2 pdV
