What to Focus On

  • A system is the part of the universe under study.
  • Open, closed, and isolated systems are classified by exchange of matter and energy.
  • Heat and work are not state functions.

  • q is positive for heat absorbed by the system.
  • w is positive for work done on the system.
  • ΔU = q + w is the mathematical form of the first law.

  • Internal energy includes all microscopic forms of energy.
  • Absolute internal energy cannot be measured, only ΔU.
  • H = U + PV.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Heat and work are state functions because they are part of the first law formula.

A negative H always means a reaction is spontaneous.

A process with positive S must always be spontaneous.

Memory Tips

System and surroundings

Open, closed, and isolated systems

All living systems are open systems
