Card 1Introduction to thermodynamics

What 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

Card 2System and surroundings

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.

Card 3Types of 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.

Card 4Types of system

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

Card 5Living systems and thermodynamics

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.

Card 6Properties of matter

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

Card 7State functions

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.

Card 8State functions

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
