Thermodynamics

Question 1

Laws of thermodynamics:
0th
1st
2nd
3rd

Answer 1

Question 2

Thermal equilibrium

Answer 2

Two systems are in equilibrium if they have the same temperature (average kinetic energy)

Question 3

Thermal expansion

Degree of expansion directly proportional to initial length (L) and change in temperature (T).

Answer 3

Question 4

Equation for heat

Answer 4

Question 5

Equation for heat of phase change

Answer 5

Question 6

Specific heat capacity

Answer 6

Amount of energy needed to raise 1 gram of a substance by 1 K.
Units = cal / (g*K)

Question 7

Methods of heat transfer

Answer 7

Conduction = transfer of heat by direct contact

Convection = transfer of heat by flowing current

Radiation = transfer of heat by electromagnetic rays. Can occur in vacuum, does not require flow of matter

Answer 9

Constant volume

Question 10

Processes:

Isothermal

Answer 10

Constant temperature

Question 11

Processes:

Adiabatic

Answer 11

No change in heat
