See them allWhat is thermodynamics in chemistry?
Answer
Thermodynamics is the branch of science which deals with the study of different forms of energy and the quantitative relationship between them. Chemical thermodynamics deals with energy changes during…
Define system and surroundings in thermodynamics.
Answer
A system is that specific part of the universe which is under study and has fixed boundaries. Surroundings are the rest of the universe outside the system.
What are open, closed, and isolated systems?
Answer
Open system: exchanges both matter and energy. Closed system: exchanges only energy. Isolated system: exchanges neither matter nor energy.
What happens when water is heated in an open beaker, a sealed metallic container, and a thermos flask?
Answer
Open beaker: open system, because matter and energy can both escape or enter. Sealed metallic container: closed system, because only energy is exchanged. Thermos flask: isolated system, because neithe…
Why are all living systems open systems?
Answer
All living systems continuously exchange matter and energy with the surroundings. This exchange is necessary for life processes such as respiration, nutrition, and waste removal.
What are intensive and extensive properties?
Answer
Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of matter, such as temperature, density, concentration, specific heat, viscosity, and surface tension. Extensive properties depend on the amount of mat…
Which of these are state functions: heat, work, internal energy, enthalpy?
Answer
Internal energy and enthalpy are state functions. Heat and work are not state functions because they depend on the path followed during the change.
Why are heat and work not state functions?
Answer
Heat and work depend on the path taken from the initial state to the final state. A change in a state function depends only on the initial and final states, not on the path. Therefore, heat and work a…
