Systems, Types, Definitions Flashcards
Isolated System
No effect on its surrounding
Adiabatic System
No exchange of heat between the system and the surroundings
Isothermal
Constant Temperature
Phase Equilibrium
When a substance transforms from one stable phase to another at an equilibrium temperature
Chemical Equilibrium
A state in which the concentration of the reactants and products have no net change over time
Extensive vs. Intensive Properties
Dependent of the size of the system vs Independent of the system size
