Formulas and Key Relations

1. Basic Terms and Zeroth Law

PV = nRT

2. Heat, Work, and Mechanical Equivalent of Heat

1 kilocalorie = 4.18 × 10^3 joule

1 calorie = 4.18 joule

W = JQ

3. Work Done by a Gas

dW = P × dV

W = P(V2 − V1)

∫dW = ∫(V1 to V2) P dV

4. Internal Energy and First Law of Thermodynamics

Q = ΔU + W

ΔU = Q − W

dU = dQ − dW
