Formulas and Key Relations

Internal Energy, Work, Heat, and the First Law of Thermodynamics

WORK (w)

When external pressure pex compresses a gas from Vi to Vf, work done on system = w = −pex × ΔV.

Enthalpy (H), Heat Capacity, and Relationship Between ΔH and ΔU

At constant pressure

ΔH = qp. Heat absorbed at constant pressure equals change in enthalpy.

Relationship

ΔH = ΔU + ΔngRT, where Δng = moles of gaseous products − moles of gaseous reactants.

Key relations

Work (w) in chemistry primarily refers to pressure-volume work: w = -pΔV.

Calorimetry measures heat changes

q = CΔT, where C is heat capacity.
