Answer 26

normal force on a defined area

Question 27

temperature

Answer 27

not possible to define

Question 28

thermal equilibrium

Answer 28

no state change due to temperature difference

Question 29

mechanical equilibrium

Answer 29

no state change due to pressure differences

Question 30

thermodynamic equilibrium

Answer 30

no state change due to any thermodynamic property

Question 31

zeroth law

Answer 31

when two bodies are in thermal equilibrium with a third body, they are in equilibrium with each other

Question 32

first law

Answer 32

energy is conserved (change in energy of system + change in energy of surroundings = 0)

Question 33

second law

Answer 33

entropy increases (change in entropy of system + change in entropy of surroundings >0)

Question 34

third law

Answer 34

the absolute entropy of a pure crystalline structure in complete internal equilibrium is zero at zero degrees absolute
