Part-1
Thermodynamics is the study of the effects of work, heat, and energy on a system
Thermodynamics is only concerned with macroscopic (large-scale) changes and
observations
Liquid - intermolecular
forces bind closest neighbours
low

Because the differential dQ is inexact, we have to specify under what
conditions heat is added.
Or, more precisely, which parameters are held constant. This leads to two
important cases:
• the heat capacity at constant volume, CV
• the heat capacity at constant pressure, Cp

A common use of the heat equation is to determine the final temperature of
a mixture of two different objects at different initial temperatures.

compensate for the different

The negative sign on the mass is acceptable here since it
represents the mass of steam that was lost (converted to water).
Heat and Latent Heat
• Latent heat of transformation L is the energy required for 1
kg of substance to undergo a phase change. (J / kg)
Q = ±ML
• Specific heat c of a substance is the energy required to raise
the temperature of 1 kg by 1 K. (Units: J / K kg )
Q = M c ΔT
• Molar specific heat C of a gas at constant volume is the
energy required to raise the temperature of 1 mol by 1 K.
Q = n CV ΔT
If a phase transition involved then the heat transferred is
Q = ±ML+M c ΔT
