In 1880’s French Chemist __________discovered that when a substance is dissolved in a solution, the vapor pressure of the solution will generally decrease.
François-Marie Raoult
a solvent’s partial vapor pressure in a solution (or mixture) is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure solvent multiplied by its mole fraction in the solution.
Raoult’s Law
describes the phenomenon that the boiling point of a liquid (a solvent) will be higher when another compound is added, meaning that a solution has a higher boiling point than a pure solvent.
Boiling-point elevation
This happens whenever a non-volatile solute, such as a salt, is added to a pure solvent, such as water.
Boiling-point elevation
is a drop in the temperature at which a substance freezes, caused when a smaller amount of another, non-volatile substance is added.
Freezing-point depression
The system and surroundings are separated by a ______.
boundary
Everything outside of the boundary is considered the _______, which would include the container itself.
surroundings
Mid-19th-century experiments performed by Englishman __________ and others, however, showed a strong connection between the transfer of energy by heat in thermal processes and the transfer of energy by work in mechanical processes
James Joule
The _______ law of thermodynamics deals with the concept of thermal equilibrium.
Zeroth
Two systems are said to be in thermal equilibrium if there is no net flow of heat between them when they are brought into thermal contact.
Zeroth law of thermodynamics
“Two systems individually in thermal equilibrium with a third system, are in thermal equilibrium with each other. ”
Zeroth law of thermodynamics
“Energy can neither be created nor destroyed in a system of constant mass, although it may be converted from one form to another. ”
First Law of Thermodynamics
is an extension of the law of conservation of energy, meaning that energy can be neither created nor destroyed.
First Law of Thermodynamics

1000 J
1 cal =
4.184 J
1 Cal =
1000 cal
“Heat can never pass from a colder to a warmer body without some other change, connected therewith, occurring at the same time.”
The Second Law of Thermodynamics (Rodulf Clausius)
“It is impossible for a self-acting machine, unaided by any external agency, to convey heat from one body to another at a higher temperature.
It is impossible, by means of inanimate material agency, to derive mechanical effect from any portion of matter by cooling it below the temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects.”
The Second Law of Thermodynamics (Lord Kelvin)
“Every process occurring in nature proceeds in the sense in which the sum of the entropies of all bodies taking part in the process is increased. In the limit, i.e. for reversible processes, the sum of the entropies remains unchanged.”
The Second Law of Thermodynamics (Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck)
“As the energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it, is wasted. Basically restricts the inter-conversion between heat and work.”
The Second Law of Thermodynamics
T or F. The entropy of any isolated system always increases
True
T or F. Isolated systems spontaneously evolve towards thermal equilibrium—the state of maximum entropy of the system.
True
T or F. the entropy of the universe (the ultimate isolated system) only decreases and never increases.
False
The measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. The concept of _____ provides deep insight into the direction of spontaneous change for many everyday phenomena.
