*write out* - Chapter 19: Textbook Notes
26
Define state function.
a property that depends only upon the state of the system, and not upon how the system was brought to that state.
27
(T/F) Energy is a state function.
True - *write out* - Chapter 19: Textbook Notes
28
Isothermal compression requires what work?
the minimum amount of work
29

the maximum amount of work
30
Write out the equation for isothermal/reversible work.
*write out* - Chapter 19: Textbook Notes (page 2)
31
(T/F) Work is a state function.
False, it is a path function.
32
What is the relationship between work, heat, and energy?
∆U = q + w
33
What is the second statement of the first law of thermodynamics?
the sum of work and heat, which are both inexact differentials, is a state function and an exact differential
34
Define adiabatic process.
process in which no energy as heat is transferred (q = 0)
35
Write out the three derivation equations for constant-volume heat capacity.
*write out* - Chapter 19: Textbook Notes (page 2)
36
What is the value of C(V) for one mole of a monatomic ideal gas?
3/2*R
37
What is the value of C(V) for one mole of a nonlinear polyatomic ideal gas?
3R
38
Under what conditions is enthalpy relevant?
constant-pressure situations
39
What are the relationships between q, ∆H, ∆U, P, and ∆V?
(1) qp = ∆H; (2) ∆H = ∆U + P∆V
40
What is the law of corresponding states?
all fluids, when evaluated at the same reduced temperature + pressure, have roughly the same Z value and thus deviate from ideal gas behavior to the same degree
41
For an ideal gas, internal energy (U) only depends on
temperature
42
What is the Joule-Thomson coefficient?
mu(sub)JT and is equivalent to (di-T/di-P) at constant H
43
Nonzero values of the Joule-Thomson coefficient reflect
intermolecular interactions
44
How did Clausius sum up the first two laws of thermodynamics?
The energy of the universe is constant, the entropy tending to a maximum

1 atm-L = 101.33 J

Independent of the path taken, to establish a property or value

What is the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics?
if 2 thermodynamic systems are in equilibrium with a third, then the first two are in equilibrium with each other (A=C, B=C, then A=B)
53
What is Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure?
if we have a mixture of ideal gases, the total pressure of the mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gasses

When Pext and P differ only infinitesimally, the process is called reversible because the process could be reversed by decreasing the external pressure infinitesimally

pressure and temperature both decrease without any gain or loss of heat
62
What is the difference between state and path functions in terms of differentials?

67
What is the relationship between microstates and entropy?
more microstates mean more entropy
68
Write out the two formulas associated with the Clausius inequality.
*write out* Dineli's Exam 4 Review, page 17
69
In the Clausius Inequality, when does the equality sign apply and when does the inequality sign apply?
equality sign applies if change is carried out reversibly (i.e. system is in equilibrium during process); inequality is applied if change is carried out irreversibly at any stage
