Q

Law of conservation of energy

A

The amount of energy is constant and is constantly being converted from one form to another.

Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but only converted to other kinds of energy

16
Q

First law of thermodynamics

A

A Change in the internal energy of a system is equal to the sum of the heat flow of the system and the work by/on the system

17
Q

Endothermic

A

Energy flows into the system

18
Q

Exothermic

A

Energy flows out of system

19
Q

Expansion

A

Work done by the system

20
Q

Compression

A

Work done on the system

21
Q

Second law of thermodynamics

A

Thermal contact heat flows from hot body to cold body

22
Q

A

It is not possible to lower the temp of an object to absolute zero

There is always some energy in object

23
Q

Temperature is

A

Measurement of the tendency to gain or lose heat

24
Q

Heat is

A

Energy which can be transferred

25
Q

Heat capacity equals

A

Mass x specific heat
